(Bloomberg) -- Citigroup Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jane Fraser was briefly interrupted by protesters during her comments at the Bernstein conference in New York. 

A representative for Citigroup confirmed the protests were related to fossil fuels.

A webcast of the Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference cut out after a disturbance came from the audience as Fraser spoke. The audio resumed more than 15 minutes later with a Bernstein host explaining that protesters had caused the interruption.
