A Bermuda Stock Exchange-listed mutual fund has been forced to suspend trading because of the national strike in Venezuela.

A BSX statement said that the national strike in Venezuela "has paralysed the country since December 2, 2002 with nearly all economic activity at a standstill and not many people working including (Nordhavn Fund Corporation's) investment manager and administrator, auditors and the property valuers who would normally be instructed to assess the value of the assets of the company".

As a result, the directors of the Nordhavn Fund Corporation have temporarily suspended the calculation of the Net Asset Value of the Class A Shares of the Fund as at December 31, 2002 and trading of the shares has been suspended.
