Chicago Hospital Risk Pooling Program hired Scudder Kemper as a domestic large-cap value manager to manage $25 million, said Ken Skertich, trust administrator. The funding will come from Putnam, which manages a U.S. large-cap growth equity portfolio that will total about $25 million after the Scudder portfolio is funded. Putnam had been the $225 million hospital liability fund’s sole equity manager since 1997, he said.
