RP Hedge Fund Lists On BISX
by Carla Johnson, Investors Offshore.com

05 May 2008

The Bahamas International Securities Exchange (BISX) has announced that the RP Hedge Fund Limited (RP Hedge Fund) has successfully completed the BISX Mutual Fund Listing Process, and has now been added to the roster of funds listed on the Exchange.

The RP Hedge Fund is managed by RP Capital Management Ltd. and is an open-ended, investment company that seeks capital appreciation for investors.

The listing of the RP Hedge Fund Limited adds another international fund listing to the Exchange, and continues the expansion of BISX's Mutual Fund Listing Facility.

According to Keith Davies, BISX CEO: "We wish to welcome the RP Hedge Fund Limited to our family of listed issuers. We see this and the other listings we have been able to process this year as positive incremental steps in the development of our market, and from my vantage point, it's also a pretty good way to start the second quarter of 2008."

The RP Hedge Fund has become the ninth fund listed on the Exchange since December 2007.

Speaking about this growth in listings, Davies noted: "We have focused on bringing a value-added product to issuers seeking a listing on BISX. One of the ways that we went about this was benchmarking the time required to complete each aspect of the listing process."

"As a result of this exercise we have introduced more efficient procedures and processing techniques that enable us to list funds more swiftly, as well as simplify the listing process for our issuers."
