To check what your funds own, you can find out at finance.yahoo.com or morningstar.com. On yahoo finance, get a quote for the fund, then click the holdings link.

It's only if you actually own Citigroup shares (C). I don't know the future for citigroup shares and whether or not the bank will be nationalized. The government doesn't intend on nationalizing Citigroup. They would only consider such an option if C couldn't avoid bankruptcy. Bank of America won't be nationalized. The BOA will be buying back the $45b government stake initiated by the previous government over a 3 year period. Bank of America made profit in 2008 and losses from the Merill Lynch acquisition were covered by $20b of bail out money. You wouldn’t have a problem with these.
