"Our focus is on restoring investor confidence in BSAM, serving our clients with excellence and assuring them of our commitment to provide them with the highest quality asset management products and services," said Bear Stearns CEO James Cayne in a statement.
Earlier this week, Bear said it would spend $1.6 billion to bail out a hedge fund heavily invested in risky securities backed by mortgage loans. A larger fund also teetered on the brink of collapse before Bear won a reprieve from lenders clamoring for more collateral.
