Federal Reserve Press Release
Release Date: December 30, 2008
For immediate release
The Federal Reserve on Tuesday announced that it expects to begin operations in early January under the previously announced program to purchase mortgage-backed securities (MBS) (half a trillion worth - AM) and that it has selected private investment managers to act as its agents in implementing the program.
Because of the size and complexity of the agency MBS program, a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process was employed to select four investment managers and a custodian. The investment managers are BlackRock Inc., Goldman Sachs Asset Management, PIMCO and Wellington Management Company, LLP.
(Wasn't sure why Wellington was named ... but now I do, they are the 3rd largest institutional holder of GS stock. Welcome to the 'waste management business'. -AM)
