Investments.

Vanguard Group, the second-largest U.S. mutual fund manager,
is one of at least six companies to receive a subpoena from New
York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer as part of an inquiry into
trading practices in the $6.9 trillion industry. Spitzer has said
that illegal practices enabled hedge funds to buy mutual fund
shares at prices not available to most investors.

Fidelity Investments, the largest U.S. fund company, hasn’t
received a subpoena from Spitzer as of late last week, said spokeswoman
Anne Crowley.
