Banknorth Exits Fund Business


Pittsburgh-based Federated Investors has completed the acquisition of Banknorth's four mutual funds, totaling $265.5 million in assets.

Federated spokeswoman Meghan McAndrew did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Banknorth's fund shareholders approved the reorganization of the four funds, which will be merged into four federated funds.

"Our decision to reorganize our fund assets fits with Banknorth's commitment to provide our clients with open architecture and to offer them the best range of financial services products available," stated Robert Esau, president of Banknorth's Wealth Management Group.

A Banknorth spokesperson did not return a call seeking comment.
