From The Wall Street Journal

However, it claims that a decision to reward the sale of proprietary funds was never finalized. Citi claims it wants to do right by its clients and will focus on boosting its returns to boost its sales. Still, subtle pressure may exist. Brokers told the WSJ that they must still file separate daily reports for sales of house and non-proprietary funds.
