GABI’s global bitcoin fund now listed on Channel Islands Securities Exchange

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
12/19/2016

Global Advisors Investment Fund plc (GABI) has today been admitted to the Official List of the Channel Islands Securities Exchange (CISE) to become the first regulated bitcoin fund to be listed on any exchange globally.

The CISE has approved the admission to listing of all of the redeemable participating no par value shares of the open-ended fund, which is managed by Global Advisors (Jersey) Limited (Global Advisors).

GABI was launched in 2014 as the world’s first regulated bitcoin fund when it received certification as an Expert Fund from the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

The listing on the CISE means that the fund joins over 2,000 listed securities on the Exchange comprising a market capitalization of over £300 billion. It is the first digital asset related listing on the CISE.

Fiona Le Poidevin, CEO of the CISE said:

“I have followed GABI since its prominent launch and it is very exciting that we are able to play a part in the next chapter of this innovative structure.”

Jonathan Bale of MJ Hudson, a specialist alternative asset law firm has been representing the firm through the listing process. Mr. Bale, who is also a Director of GABI’s listing sponsor, Verras Professional Services Limited, says that GABI will now be able to demonstrate the oversight, due diligence and monitoring that comes with regulation and an exchange listing.

Mr. Jonathan Bale said:

“This is testament to the hard work that Global Advisors’ principals, Daniel Masters, Jean-Marie Mognetti and Russell Newton, have put in to evolving an institutionally robust offering.”

Director at Global Advisors Bitcoin Investment Fund PLC Daniel Masters says the strong fundamentals of bitcoin helped push Global Advisors and GABI towards listing GABI.

Mr. Masters said:

“The time is right. Bitcoin now has a market capitalization of over $12.4 billion, an all-time high, with approximately 16 million coins in issue. Bitcoin is the leading digital currency, ranking 73rd in total amount in circulation on the global list of M1 forms of money. Several leading analysts are now covering the currency, with a recent report from Canaccord Genuity projecting an eight-fold increase in implied value within a decade.”

GABI is the third exchange listing for Global Advisors. The firm currently manages two Bitcoin Exchange Traded Certificates – COINXBT and COINXBE – on NASDAQ’s OMX in Stockholm.

Mr. Masters says that the firm is developing as a leading platform for digital assets combining digital asset management, direct market access and working with start-up firms developing distributed ledger technologies, including Glint, Gradbase and Aventus Systems.

Mr. Masters added:

“GABI is our flagship. It provides professional management of the risks associated with holding bitcoin, and is focused on outperforming bitcoin in US dollars, which it has shown a strong track record of doing. As fund managers, we have a number of powerful tools to generate alpha, including arbitrage, pair-trading, cash and carry and coin lending. Today’s listing of GABI on the CISE acknowledges how far we have come over the last two years since GABI was launched as the world’s first regulated bitcoin fund, as well as the transformational role bitcoin is starting to play as a global currency and its emergence as an important, uncorrelated asset class for investors.”

GABI has returned 57% (2016 year to date) to investors and listed on the CISE at 08.00 GMT today.
