Trout Trading Fund

Trout Trading Fund, a massive mutual fund group catering to high net worth individuals, has been criticized by Chief Justice Austin Ward for preventing a member of the public from exercising his legal right to view its register of shareholders. But Mr. Ward cannot take action against the Bermuda-based company because, after a legal action was brought against the firm in an effort to force it to open up its share register, a Private Members' Bill was passed a month later in the House of Assembly, exempting Trout Trading from the provisions of The Companies Act 1981 that allows the public access to its register.
