Financial Trust Company
The Financial Trust Company suffered enormous losses in the 2007 financial crisis due, among other things, to its investment positions with Bear Stearns.
According to SEC filings, the Financial Trust Company was a "beneficial owner" of more than 10% of the shares of one of Bear Stearns' core hedge funds, the Bear Stearns High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund.
The near-collapse in the summer of 2007 of this and another fund that had invested heavily in risky mortgage-backed securities (CDOs) marked the beginning of Bear Stearns' downfall.
