Massachusetts deputy CIO told Reuters that performance was the issue. Fidelity, which has been on the states watch list since last fall "is in critical condition right now," Stanley Mavromates told Reuters.
Fidelity spokesman Vincent Loporchio told Money Management Executive that Fidelity is cooperating with the state in their pursuit of fulfilling their fiduciary duty in running the $32 billion state pension fund.
While Mavromates would not reveal performance figures, he did note that Fidelitys high-yield portfolio returned 26.4% in 2003.
