Goldman (2): SIV deal welcomed

Investors, bankers and policymakers on Tuesday welcomed a deal reached by Goldman Sachs to restructure the first of a string of collapsed investment vehicles, seeing it as a sign that the private sector is finally crafting solutions to credit-market problems of distressed assets and structures. Receivers to the $7bn structured investment vehicle formerly run by UK-based hedge fund Cheyne Capital confirmed Tuesday an agreement to restructure and sell the portfolio to Goldman. Deloitte & Touche also confirmed plans for an auction in mid-July of the Cheyne Finance assets to determine the price at which the portfolio is to be sold to Goldman.
