The BOSL Global Investment Fund (BOSL GIF) officially launched its presence in Antigua on January 16, marking a significant milestone in the Fund’s regional expansion and its commitment to making investment opportunities more accessible across the Eastern Caribbean.
Held at Sandals Grande Antigua, the event brought together key stakeholders, financial professionals, clients, and invited guests for an evening of networking, presentations, and discussion on wealth creation and investment opportunities.
Speaking at the launch, Shaiiede Kallicharan, General Manager of BOSL Fund Management Company, emphasized the Fund’s core philosophy of accessibility and inclusion.
“At BOSL Global Investment Fund, we believe that investments should be accessible, affordable, and understandable,” Kallicharan said. “Our goal is to demystify investing and provide OECS citizens with access to global markets through a trusted local institution.”
Kallicharan noted that the partnership with ACB Caribbean provides an effective channel to bring global investment opportunities to the people of Antigua and Barbuda, while reinforcing the importance of spending time in the market to build long-term wealth. He also highlighted the Fund’s low entry point, making it accessible to a wide cross-section of the population.
From ACB Caribbean’s perspective, the partnership represents a strategic step forward in expanding wealth-building options for its customers. Joanna Charles, General Manager of ACB Antigua, described the collaboration as timely and impactful.
“This partnership is very strategic for us,” Charles said. “As we continue to expand our investment services, the BOSL Global Investment Fund provides an opportunity to offer customers access to both regional and international markets. It allows for diversification, risk mitigation, and removes many of the barriers that traditionally come with investing.”
Charles added that demand for investment products in the region remains high, particularly among individuals seeking to create generational wealth, and noted that the Fund offers an alternative to traditional savings and limited equity options.
The event also featured the perspective of an existing investor. Treasa James, a private investor in the BOSL Global Investment Fund, shared her personal experience and the confidence she has gained with the Fund.
“I am a risk-averse investor, and over the years I’ve grown more confident and comfortable investing with the BOSL Global Investment Fund,” James said. “I’ve seen my investment grow, and I continue to invest not just for myself, but for my children’s future. Having access to professional management has given me a great sense of security.”
James noted that the Fund offers options for investors at different comfort levels, making it suitable for individuals who are new to investing as well as those seeking more diversified opportunities.
In addition to the launch, BOSL Global Investment Fund announced plans for a structured rollout of financial literacy and investor education initiatives in Antigua, aimed at helping citizens better understand investment vehicles and wealth-building strategies.
The Antigua launch forms part of BOSL Global Investment Fund’s wider regional expansion strategy, reinforcing its mission to empower individuals across the OECS with the tools, knowledge, and access needed to participate confidently in global financial markets.
The Fund is expected to continue this momentum with the launch of the BOSL Global Investment Fund in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the coming weeks.
