2nd UPDATE:FSF Urges Financial Risk Disclosure To Fight Crisis
ROME -(Dow Jones)- The world's top financial authorities Saturday urged financial institutions to fully expose their risks in order to bring about the return of financial market confidence. "The financial system faces a number of significant near-term challenges," the Financial Stability Forum, or FSF, an international panel of regulators charged with finding a way out of the current market crisis, said in a statement at the end of a two-day meeting in Rome. In stressing that greater transparency is needed to fight the confidence crisis plaguing markets, the FSF said financial institutions should refine their valuations of structured credit activities and poorly performing assets. "While the necessary deleveraging has been ongoing since last summer, the process is being complicated by the lack of transparency and valuation difficulties for some credit instruments," the panel said.
Mutual Funds: Most funds see pullbacks in 1st quarter
NEW YORK -- As stock market analysts were starting to tally up Wall Street's first-quarter performance, they came up with a bleak but unsurprising result: Stock mutual funds in just about every corner were a losing proposition. With few exceptions, such as funds that focus on gold or those that bet stocks would fall, most investors saw steep declines in their fund holdings in the quarter. Figures from fund tracker Lipper Inc. show negative returns that approached or reached double digits in most stock fund categories; Lipper's calculations included results through Thursday. From large-cap value funds (down 9.2 percent) to small-cap growth funds (down 14.4 percent), many investors emerged from the volatility of the first quarter with less money than at the start of the year.
