The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is considering selling assets in its Maiden Lane III LLC portfolio, which were assumed in the government bailout of American International Group Inc., the district bank said today.
“The change in the investment objective for Maiden Lane III reflects a strategic decision to explore possible sales of some of the assets in the portfolio in light of improving market conditions and the success of the Maiden Lane II sales,” Jack Gutt, a spokesman for the New York Fed, said in an e-mailed statement.
