'Fed Chair Nominee Warsh Files Amended Financial Disclosure Form; Fed Ethics Officer Says Warsh Disclosure In Compliance With Relevant Rules' - Reuters

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh has amended his recent financial disclosure filings to an investment fund he would divest from if confirmed to lead the central bank.

In a filing dated April 17 that amended an original filing on April 10, Warsh wrote to the Fed's ethics officer "I will divest my interests in iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index (XIU)" if confirmed as Fed chair. He said he would do this because "agency ethics officials have since advised me that the duties of my position will involve particular matters affecting the financial interests of the underlying holding" in the fund.
