Private Equity Hub – Wealth managers at Citi are telling their clients to watch for a burst of hedge fund activity in bad assets.
The wealth investor says in its most recent note that the biggest opportunity for hedge funds is probably around the Public-Private Investment Fund, which is part of the huge U.S. plan to stabilise the financial sector.
The idea is that the U.S. government will lend money to investors to buy up toxic assets from banks, thus setting a market price.
