Big Questions from a Small Story on a (Relatively) Small Loss
Stephen Rosenberg, The Wagner Law Group [Opinion] May 8, 2008 Excerpt: Here's a short newspaper story of a local municipal pension plan that suffered a $2.4 million loss to its pension fund, which is only about a $53 million fund, as a result of investments in subprime mortgage backed assets made either by State Street or in State Street funds .... This whole scenario raises an interesting question, aside from whether it is the plaintiff administrators or instead State Street that is right, because no matter which one is correct in their interpretation of the events at issue, you still end up in the same place, which is that the plans signing off on these investments just plain didn't know what they were buying. |
