February Oversight Report: Valuing Treasury’s Acquisitions

COP is releasing its latest oversight report today entitled “Valuing Treasury’s Acquisitions.” This report is our own attempt to answer the fifth question in our first oversight report: Is the Public Receiving a Fair Deal?   After reviewing the top ten TARP transactions, we learned that every time Treasury spent $100, it took back assets that were worth, on average, $66.  This equals a $78 billion shortfall for the $254 billion spent on these deals so far.

For a deal-by-deal breakdown of the real value of the top ten TARP deals, read our report in full.  You can also read the detailed analysis produced Duff & Phelps, the valuation firm we retained to analyze these deals.
