Monagle to Assist Reserve As Liquidation Adviser
Reserve Funds has hired Joseph T. Monagle, Jr. to help sell positions in today's difficult debt and credit markets.
Monagle was formerly a senior asset management executive with Merrill Lynch, where he last served as co-head of global fixed income before retiring in 2000. While at Merrill, which he joined in 1977 as a money market portfolio manager, Monagle played a key role in increasing short-term assets to $130 billion and entering new global markets, including Brazil and Japan.
"We are delighted to have secured the benefit of Joe Monagle's unparalleled expertise in the field of short-term debt and money markets as we work to extract the maximum value from The Reserve's portfolios for investors," said trustee William Montgoris.
Bruce Bent, president and chairman of the firm, added: "Joe ranks among the most knowledgeable and respected people in the money market business. His intelligence and insight will be a valuable addition to our team."
Monagle said he was looking forward to working with Bent, "who has played such an important role in the creation and growth of the money market mutual fund industry that has benefited so many investors, both large and small."

Only One Wachovia Exec To Make Wells Team
Wells Fargo awarded just one position on its 12-member management team to Wachovia and announced that several Wachovia executives will leave after Wells' deal to buy Wachovia closes next month.
David Carroll, who runs Wachovia's capital management group, is to oversee wealth management and brokerage at Wells.
Robert K. Steel, Wachovia's president and chief executive, had already said he would not stay on. That means the highest-level departure will be that of Vice Chairman Benjamin Jenkins III, who runs Wachovia's general bank.
Cecelia Sutton, who reports to Jenkins as head of retail and small-business banking, is set to join Morgan Stanley in January as president of the bank's newly minted retail bank.
Other longtime executives who are leaving include Stephen Cummings, head of corporate and investment banking, and Shannon McFayden, who runs human resources.
