"The Fund offers investors who reside outside of Canada the opportunity to access Roundtable's track record of success," said Jim Allan, Chairman of Roundtable Capital Partners Inc.

The Fund is modelled after the Roundtable Growth Fund, domiciled in Toronto, Canada which has outperformed the Scotia Hedge Fund Index, the S&P/TSX Index and the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index in each calendar year since its inception in December of 2008.

Before founding Roundtable, Jim was the Vice President of Portfolio Management at a boutique, Toronto-based asset management firm from 1999 to 2005 where he managed large and small capitalization portfolios. During his tenure at the firm, the funds in which Jim was listed as a portfolio manager were consistently top-quartile performers within their respective peer groups. He received the Chartered Financial Analyst designation in 2000, is a member of the CFA Society of The Bahamas and the CFA Institute, is a Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute, a Qualified Family Office Professional, sits on the Investment Committee of the Lyford Cay Foundation, and is a registered director with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
