BSX Approves Listing of Participating Shares for the Aurum Aggressive Euro Fund Ltd. And The Aurum Aggressive Sterling Fund Ltd.

Hamilton, Bermuda: October 10, 2007  - The Listing Committee of the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) today announced the approval of the listing of up to 4,499,000 Participating Shares of the Aurum Aggressive Euro Fund Ltd and 5,999,000 Participating Shares of the Aurum Aggressive Sterling Fund Ltd. (the "Funds") effective July 10, 2007.

The Funds were incorporated in Bermuda on 4 June 2007 and are classified as Standard Schemes by the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Investment Funds Act 2006. The Funds were listed on the Irish Stock Exchange on 2 July 2007 and also achieved a secondary listing on the BSX effective the same date.

The Aurum Aggressive Funds were reorganized in June 2007 to provide different classes of Participating Shares denominated in currencies other than US dollars. In order to achieve this, a new Master Fund was created called Aurum Aggressive Fund, the existing Aurum Aggressive Fund was renamed the Aurum Aggressive Dollar Fund and the Aurum Aggressive Euro and Sterling Funds were formed.

Aurum Aggressive Dollar, Euro Fund and Sterling Funds (the Feeder Funds) will invest solely apart from the currency hedging strategy to protect their value in base currency terms from currency fluctuations into the Aurum Aggressive Fund (the Master Fund) whose objective is to seek the best risk reward investment opportunities on a global basis.   The Fund believes that many investors focus too much on short-term volatility concerns at the expense of long-term investment returns.   By taking a longer-term view and having the fortitude to withstand short-term volatility, the Fund believes an investor can compound at a higher rate of return over time.   The Fund intends to examine a broad range of investment opportunities to identify compelling investment opportunities on a worldwide basis.   At the core of the portfolio the Fund will seek to invest in the highest growth economies and industry sectors.   The Fund may also seek to make contrarian investments where it expects spectacular upside to justify the commensurate risk.   To further diversify the portfolio, the Fund intends to invest in an array of opportunistic short term traders who the Fund feels can add a non-correlated return stream to the rest of the portfolio.

 

Continental Sponsors Ltd sponsored the listing of the Participating Shares of the Fund. The securities are being listed under the Listing Regulations for Collective Investment Schemes and the provisions for General Marketing.

"Aurum Aggressive Euro and Sterling Funds are delighted to be listed on the BSX and to be able to benefit from its international reputation", said Mr. Sutherland Morris of the Fund.

"We are pleased to welcome the Aurum Aggressive Euro and Sterling Funds to listing", said Mr. James S. McKirdy, Chief Compliance Officer of the BSX.
