Singapore insurer Great Eastern Holdings informed that it has some investments in Bernand L . Madoff investment Securities, the New York-based business that had lost US$50 billion in a giant pyramid scam.
However, according to Great Eastern’s parent company, OCBC, the exposure is not significant but the company declined to reveal details. OCBC itself has no exposure to the failed Madoff funds.
The two other major local banks, DBS and UOB, also said they have no investments at Madoff.
Global bank giant HSBC is said to have about US$1.5 billion tied up with funds managed by Bernard Madoff. Other global names with exposure include Spain's largest bank Santander, the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and France's BNP Paribas.
Bernard Madoff, the former chairman of Nasdaq, is currently being prosecuted in the US for allegedly masterminding a fraud through his investment business.
