An agreement has been reached on the sale of Cheyne Finance, a structured investment vehicle now known as S.I.V. Portfolio, to bidders including Goldman Sachs, the fundâs receivers, Deloitte & Touche said. The $7 billion S.I.V. Portfolio, managed by the hedge fund Cheyne Capital Management, went into receivership in September. The agreement comes after talks with a number of bidders over the last few weeks and consultation with the informal creditorsâ committees, Deloitte said. Under the deal, certain reinvestment opportunities will be offered to some existing creditors of the company. S.I.V.âs, held by banks, hedge funds or other institutions, issue a mixture of short-term debt and capital and buy longer-term assets, which may pay more interest than the amount they pay on their notes. The vehicles encountered trouble in August when liquidity in the credit markets dried up as investors faced exposure to the subprime market.
