The moves comes a week after NCUA announced it was infusing $1 billion into the central bank for credit unions because of a $1 billion loss for 2008.

The realized losses come as U.S. Central has built up $10 billion of unrealized losses on its investment portfolio.

Francis Lee, president of the $35 billion corporate credit union, said he will be personally leading a staff of eight to manage U.S. Central’s day-to-day portfolio needs.
