BUSINESS BRIEFING / INVESTING
Times Wire Reports
Citigroup Inc. told U.S. clients of four European property funds that a currency-conversion error caused it to overstate the value of their investments at the end of 2008 by about 29%.
An “operational error” overvalued the euro-denominated funds’ returns to clients with dollar-denominated accounts, New York-based Citigroup said in a letter to investors.
The account values were to be corrected this month.
