Luxembourg Funds Halt Redemptions but the list in not exhaustive
01/22/2009
Bloomberg has reported that Investments with Bernard Madoff have forced Luxembourg funds and sub funds to suspend redemptions.
List of Luxembourg-registered sub-funds and funds that have suspended their net asset valuations, the subscription and
redemptions of their shares since the Madoff fraud:
The funds are Source: Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier in an e-mail to Bloomberg News) :
*U.S. Absolute Return of Herald (Lux)
*U.S. Equity Plus of Luxembourg Investment Fund
*American Selection of Luxalpha Sicav
*Arbitrage of Norvest
*Balanced sub-fund, Growth sub-fund et Xtra Alternative
Investments Sub-fund of GLOBAL FUND SELECTION Sicav
*Global One of Carat (Lux) Sicav
*LRI Invest Alpha Stable EUR
*BG Global Classic, BG Global Dynamic, BG Global Challenge, BG
Global Balance, BG Global Discovery, BG Stable Value of BG
Umbrella Fund
*One (c) of the fund MARS
*Best Selection of Pareturn
I know that there may other funds that are not on the list like a typical Luxembourg-made situation :
X Bermuda as custodian and X Luxembourg as sub- custodian, X being the name of the Bank in the prospectus.
"X Bermuda" is quoted 11 times "X Luxembourg" is quoted 5 times despite they are only sub-custodians.
"Luxembourg" is quoted ...25 times and "Bermuda" 58 times.
The prospectus was changed early 2000 to add X Luxembourg and the word Luxembourg to seduce European investors and have a foot in Europe. X Luxembourg would have given the money to Madoff. A big four is the auditor.
The prospectus specifies that the FUND is a British Virgin Islands business company pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004.
