Investment losses at the $21 billion Western Corporate Federal Credit Union are "substantially greater" than originally projected by Clayton Holdings earlier in the year, Chief Investment Officer Joe DiMichele told members in yesterday's Webcast.

Clayton's updated September projections anticipate WesCorp will write off $40 million for the month of December and another $65 million in January 2010. Those figures are roughly double what Clayton originally projected back in March.
