BSX Approves Listing of Participating Shares for the Aurum Europa Dollar 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 4,999,000 Participating Shares of the Aurum Europa Dollar Fund Ltd. (the "Fund") effective July 10, 2007.
The Fund was incorporated in Bermuda on 4 June 2007 and is classified as a Standard Scheme by the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Investment Funds Act 2006. The Fund was 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 Europa Funds were reorganized in June 2007 to provide a different class of Participating Shares denominated in a currency other than Euros. In order to achieve this, a new Master Fund was created called Aurum Europa Fund, the existing Aurum Europa Fund was renamed the Aurum Europa Euro Fund and the Aurum Europa Dollar Fund was formed.
Aurum Europa Euro Fund and Dollar 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 Europa Fund (the Master Fund), which is a specialist fund of hedge funds, with a specific regional focus to invest in European hedged equity funds. The strategies and investment themes that the Fund makes use of will seek to maximise the advantageous combination of circumstances that Europe presents, while endeavouring to maintain less volatility than the general market
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 Europa Dollar Fund is 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 Europa Dollar Fund Ltd. to listing", said Mr. James S. McKirdy, Chief Compliance Officer of the BSX.
