coins-collapse

KPMG, the special administrators of MF Global UK, said some $923 million in client assets and monies have been recovered, in its six-monthly report published on November 29.

"We have seen some substantial progress made since our last progress report six months ago. In excess of £1 billion of assets have now been recovered into the house estate, while client assets and monies of some $923 million have been recovered," says Richard Heis, joint special administrator of MFG UK and restructuring partner at KPMG.

"Statements in draft or final form have been sent to 95% of all trading customers, and over $179 million has been distributed to them. We have resolved approximately half of the 1,300 disputed claims regarding segregated and non-segregated account classifications."

Heis says 70 MF Global UK employees have been retained until at least April 30, 2013 to work alongside a KPMG team on this complex case.
