Goldman Sachs is continuing to clean up the mess left by Cheyne Finance, a structured investment vehicle set up by British hedge fund Cheyne Capital.
The Wall Street giant may tranch and rate some of the debt the vehicle still owns after a restructuring, Reuters reports. The plan would allow the 79% of investors in what is now called SIV Portfolio to sell the triple-A rated parts of the portfolio on the secondary market, potentially recouping some of their investment.
