Thursday, June 24th 2010 12:00am

Toronto, Ontario: Garrison Hill Capital Management along with partner Redwood Asset Management, are pleased to announce the launch of Canada's first Fund focused on the European financial crisis.

The Garrison Hill European Crisis Fund seeks to provide investors with the ability to profit and hedge their portfolios from deteriorating political and economic conditions in the Euro Zone.

"Economic and political issues in Europe continue to influence investment returns in other asset classes globally," said Michael Yhip, President and Chief Investment Officer of Garrison Hill. "We believe these are structural issues that will take years to resolve and investors need to manage the risk to their portfolios accordingly. The European Crisis Fund provides investors a unique investment opportunity and risk management tool."

The Fund will be actively managed and will use long and short strategies in a broad range of asset classes such as currencies, commodities, fixed income, and equities in order to achieve its investment objective.

The Garrison Hill European Crisis Fund will be available through Redwood Asset Management. Garrison Hill will act as the sole Portfolio Advisor to the Fund. "Redwood is pleased to partner with Garrison Hill as they have demonstrated the ability to understand complicated global events and turn them into distinct investable ideas" said Peter Shippen, President of Redwood.

The Fund is currently being marketed to accredited investors only with an anticipated launch date of July 12, 2010.
