Wednesday, June 10, 2009 : PermalinkBloomberg – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking information from more than two dozen pension funds, placement agents and other companies as it steps up an investigation into whether money managers made improper payments to win business.
“The SEC is interested in finders’ fees and other payments,” spokesman John Nester said late yesterday. The SEC contacted pension-fund managers, agents that line up business for investment advisers and “other intermediaries,” he said.
