This notice is to make the general public aware that Venus Multi-Strategy Fund SICAV plc (“the Scheme”) recently requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept surrender of the collective investment scheme licence granted in relation to Absolute Return Strategies in Asia Fund, Event Driven Strategies in Emerging Markets Fund and Global Opportunities Fund (“the Sub-Funds”). The MFSA has accepted the Scheme’s request. This surrender is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA. Accordingly, with effect from 10th July, 2012, the Sub-Funds ceased to be licensed by the MFSA.
