In that month, Mr. Hymas joined Portus Alternative Asset Management (PAAM) and continued managing the fund through them. Trusteeship of the fund was transferred to PAAM on February 7, 2005. On February 10, 2005, the Ontario Securities Commission ordered PAAM to cease trading for client accounts. On March 4, 2005, PAAM was placed in receivership by the Ontario Securities Commission. On April 29, 2005, a court order removed PAAM as trustee of the fund and reinstated HIMI. The fund recommenced trading in August, 2005, following the re-registration of HIMI with the Ontario Securities Commission. |
