The Caledonian Malt Fund L.P. secures regulatory approval as a Professional Closed Fund under the Investment Funds Act of Bermuda

 

The Caledonian Malt Fund L.P. (“CMF” or the "Fund"), the alternative investment fund focused on investing into Scotch whisky, announced its launch after securing regulatory approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority (the "BMA"). The Fund will invest into a diversified portfolio of premium and investment grade Scotch whisky drawn from the most reputable distilleries of the whisky producing sub-regions of Scotland.

Highlights:

·       Principal investment objective of the Fund is to seek total return through investment in Scotch whisky casks and bottles, with an aim to create a diversified and broad-based investment portfolio that provides both investment stability as well as strong upside potential.

·       The Fund will make direct investments into high quality investment grade premium casks from reputable and well established distilleries to construct an Investment Portfolio covering the maturation spectrum.

·       Assets will be stored and matured in UK Government regulated, HMRC licensed and registered bonded warehouses, ensuring professional storage and comprehensive insurance, while navigating custody related compliances.

·       Investments and exits will be driven by extensive data analysis and inputs from primary and secondary markets, leveraging fund’s proprietary industry network, unique expertise in portfolio management, yield generation, and value creation to maximize returns.

·       The Fund is registered with the Bermuda Monetary Authority under the Investment Funds Act as a Professional Closed Fund with a standard GP: LP structure. Investment fund structure ensures an institutional approach to whisky investment with focus on value maximization and risk management.

Commenting on the launch of the Fund, Roderick Sampson, Chairman of the Investment Advisory Committee, said – We are proud and excited to launch our investment fund through Bermuda and the BMA, which provides an ideal home for the Caledonian Fund. Through the Fund, we will continue to seek out opportunities in the global Scotch whisky industry and thereby create long term value for our investment partners and support the growth of our broader stakeholders.

Mike Webb, Member of the Investment Advisory Committee, added - “Investment in Scotch whisky is getting mainstream as an alternative investment, as the industry is getting institutionalized. Whisky casks have historically delivered value and non-correlated returns on investment and investors can consider an allocation for the investment portfolio to build generational wealth over the long term.”

“CMF will operate as a regulated investment fund with compliance to relevant regulations. The Fund will bring institutional capability & market intelligence and leverage our proprietary network to generate better risk-adjusted returns for our investors. We have put together a fund team having deep network and insights of the Scotch whisky industry, asset management and alternative investments. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities to create value in this competitive market” said Amit Tripathy, Fund Manager.

Advisor to the Fund, Doug McIvor said “The Scotch whisky industry has evolved over the recent years, creating opportunities for institutional investors to realize substantial returns. CMF’s commitment to long-term growth through innovation and entrepreneurial thinking will shape a future that meets the evolving needs of our partners and the markets we serve.”

Sarah Demerling, Partner at Walkers (Bermuda) Limited, legal counsel to the Fund said "Bermuda is a perfect location to establish this structure and strategy and we are delighted to have worked with the CMF team so far and continue to wish them success."

Tenchijin Signs MOU with India’s Swach Environment to Conduct PoC Projects in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal

 

 

First Partnership in India, Collaborating Toward Future Market Growth

TOKYO, Japan – September 16, 2025 – Tenchijin Inc., a space-tech innovator transforming sustainable water infrastructure management, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Swach Environment Private Limited (“Swach”), a leading water infrastructure company in India, on July 1, 2025. Under this MOU, Tenchijin and Swach intend to pursue Proof-of-Concept (PoC) projects in three locations — Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal — aimed at testing the applicability of Tenchijin’s “KnoWaterleak”, a water leakage assessment and management system, in the Indian market. The PoC initiatives are currently under consideration and will be carried out subject to government approval and support.

This agreement represents Tenchijin’s first partnership in India and establishes a foundation for future business expansion in the country.

Our Trusted Partner – Swach Environment Private Limited

Swach is a leading water infrastructure and service company based in Kolkata, West Bengal, providing integrated solutions for drinking water, wastewater, effluent, and sewage management and smart water solutions. Its expertise spans Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC), Operations & Maintenance (O&M), and Build Own Operate and Transfer (BOOT) as a water utility serving across the spectrum of customers, across industrial, municipal, domestic, urban, and rural segments.

Swach has demonstrated strong technical proficiency and reliability through its extensive track record in delivering large-scale water infrastructure projects across India’s capital and various urban, industrial, and rural regions. In addition, proven record of delivering ongoing joint projects with Veolia India, the Indian subsidiary of France-based Veolia Group, one of the world’s leading environmental services companies, further demonstrates Swach’s credibility.

 ● Delhi: Has been a partner in “Nangloi Water Supply Project”, one of the largest public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives by the Delhi Jal Board, aiming to deliver 24/7 water supply. Together with Veolia India, Swach manages a plant with a capacity of 40 million MGD (approx. 181.6 million liters per day) and serves over 1.2 million people.

 ● West Bengal: Operates “Haldia Water Supply Project”, one of India’s largest industrial and municipal water supply projects with a supply of over 42 MGD (approx. 200 million liters) and a city operator for Haldia. The operating entity received the Best PPP Operator in the Water & Wastewater Sector at the World Water Awards 2024–2025.

India, the most populous country in the world, faces serious water infrastructure challenges, including aging pipelines, high non-revenue water (NRW) rates, and intermittent water supply. KnoWaterleak’s water leakage risk assessment function is expected to play a significant role in addressing these challenges.

Tenchijin strives to deliver an innovative platform for the country’s future. We believe Swach’s proven expertise, strong technological capabilities, and trusted track record in India make them the ideal partner to tackle the ongoing challenges.

From Orphaned Child to Empowered Entrepreneur!

 

Standing at just 4’3”, Grace Ramirez had every reason to fade into the background. Orphaned by the age of 12, she became a second parent to her younger sibling while still a child herself. Her life in the province was far from easy—selling vegetables, coconuts, and even collecting scraps to survive.

“Life didn’t give me a choice,” she recalls. “I had to grow up fast.”

At 13, Grace made a brave decision. With no money and no one to rely on, she traveled to Manila alone to work as a domestic helper. She spent six years babysitting, cleaning, and working under people who often saw her as "less"—too small, too uneducated, too soft-spoken.

But inside, Grace held on to one belief: “My dreams are bigger than me. Taller than me. As tall as the Burj Khalifa.”

The turning point came when she found REDinc—a business platform that gave her something she had never experienced before: an environment without judgment. No one cared about her height or past. They cared about her heart, her effort, and her dreams.

Today, Grace is a respected leader, public speaker, and host within the organization. More than just changing her own life, she’s helping others believe they can change theirs too. She supports an 8-year-old charity for orphans and fights for OFWs to have a way to come home for good.

“I’m bound to be more & I'll continue thrive so I can help more people...”
