New York's Bloomberg Pulls $5 Billion From Quadrangle

The Wall Street Journal reports:
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is pulling roughly $5 billion of personal assets from Quadrangle Group's asset-management arm, according to people familiar with the situation.


The move deals a blow to the New York private-equity and investment firm, which has had to deal with the departure of its co-founder Steven Rattner and an investigation by the New York state attorney general into how Quadrangle secured an investment from New York state's pension fund.
