Citi bailout also bails out Singapore fund

GIC had big loss before latest US rescue. Now it has $1.6bn profit and half the stake

The third bailout of Citigroup proved the charm for a Singaporean sovereign wealth fund.

Government of Singapore Investment Corporation said on Tuesday that it took in a $1.6bn (€1bn) profit by selling about half of its holdings in Citigroup since converting its holdings from preferred shares to ordinary shares earlier this month. The sovereign fund's remaining holdings are now below 5%.
