Caravel Capital Investments Inc. changes name of fund

Investment fund moves to eliminate misconception that Canada is only focus

Nassau, The Bahamas, February 15, 2022 — Caravel Capital Investments Inc, the management company for Caravel CAD Fund Ltd, a multi-strategy market-neutral hedge fund based in The Bahamas, has changed the name of its flagship fund to Caravel Capital Fund Ltd. to appeal to a broader base and better reflect the nature of the fund. Previously named the Caravel CAD Fund Ltd, prospective investors were left wondering about the currencies and geographic targets for the fund. To delineate these specifications, the fund managers have officially changed the name to the Caravel Capital Fund Ltd.

The Caravel Capital Fund Ltd is an open-ended fund that accepts USD and CAD dollars. The assets under management (AUM) are stated in CAD for reporting purposes. The fund, however, is not domiciled in Canada and is an offshore investment fund regulated by the Bahamas Securities Commission. As of February 1, 2022, The Fund has approximately 155,000,000 CAD AUM with an approximate net asset value (NAV) of 2,591.04 CAD.

The founders, Glen Gibbons and Jeff Banfield, originally from Canada, began actively marketing The Fund to new investments in September 2021 with the hiring of their Investor Relations and Marketing Manager, Michelle Ross. “It became apparent that a name change was necessary to provide clarity as we met with prospects. There was a common misconception because the old fund name included “CAD.” It is not a Canada-based fund nor an exclusive CAD fund.” Mrs. Ross explained. The Fund grew in excess of 60 million over the course of 2021 and has raised 32 million CAD in assets from investors residing from North America and Europe.
