Goldman Sachs said yesterday that C.V. Starr & Co. Inc., the global investment and insurance firm headed by former AIG Chairman Maurice R. Greenberg, will join other investors in pumping $3 billion into a troubled fund.

The fund, Global Equity Opportunities, which had a net asset value of $3.6 billion before the investment, is managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

Goldman Sachs, which describes the fund as an equity long/short quantitative strategy fund, said the fund has been losing value as a result of disruptions in equity markets being fueled by distress in the credit markets.
