Citigroup Inc. agreed to move a stable of internal hedge funds to an entity controlled by bank managers in a deal reached before the firm’s top two executives, Vikram Pandit and John Havens, left this week.
The bank disclosed the move, calling it a “carve-out,” in a footnote to a quarterly financial supplement posted on its website Oct. 15. The funds have been housed in the Citi Capital Advisors division, which was overseen by then-Chief Operating Officer Havens. He said in March that the company was looking to let managers take a “significant” stake in the funds.
