El Bank of America congela fondo de inversión de $12,000 millones de dólares

No se permiten retiros, se paga en "especie" a inversionistas.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Bank of America Corp. said Monday that it's shutting a $12 billion a money-market fund of sorts and halting cash withdrawals after losses from complex investments tied to the mortgage crisis.
The so-called enhanced-cash fund, which was only offered privately to institutional investors, saw its net asset value dip below $1 recently. It closed at 99.42 on Friday.
Big investors that want to redeem are being paid "in kind," which means they get their share of the fund's assets put into a separately managed account, according to Jon Goldstein, a spokesman for Bank of America.
