Where We Are Right Now: Pre-Launch, Building the Right Way
We are pre-launch, and building the right way. The progress tracker in this issue shows four workstreams; here is exactly where each one stands, in words.
First, the CIS Fund Licence: complete. Approved by the Mauritius Financial Services Commission in June 2026, as covered in this issue’s Spotlight.
Second, service providers: in progress. The fund’s independent administrator, custodian, and legal counsel are being onboarded now. These are the firms whose independence gives the fund its checks and balances, so we are taking the time to complete this properly.
Third, the investor community and education library: in progress. This newsletter, our upcoming article hub, and the education series are being built so that when the fund opens, investors arrive informed rather than persuaded.
Fourth, opening to investments: the near-term step. The fund is not open to subscriptions today. We are working toward launch in August 2026, when the fund’s first dealing date is expected to occur, the first scheduled date on which subscriptions are accepted and priced. That is a target, not an invitation: the fund opens through its offering documents, not this newsletter, and you will hear it from us directly when it does. Nothing you read elsewhere should be treated as an invitation to invest.
Why we tell you this before the fund opens: we want you to understand what we are building, and why, long before you are ever asked to invest. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the standard you should hold over anyone who manages your money.
