  1. not sure why the Montaka fund is not available to us mere mortals with less than 500K to spend.
    I think you’d find it would be very popular…

    • Funny you say that Carlos.
      We are quite advanced in designing the Montaka Global Access Fund, and hope to be able to make announcement on its timing in a few weeks. Regards, David

      • Great to hear David. Unfortunately my platform provider has not approved the Global Fund, so hopefully the new fund might be available on more platforms – are you thinking of a listed or unlisted structure? Or is this information not yet publicly available?

      • Hi patrick,

        Eventually it will be there. In the meantime, more flexible investors who are looking to benefit from the offer are allowing their portfolio to have some items off-platform. Profit before convenience?
