Background on the Wildermuth Fund

Important Deadlines for Class Action Participation
Investors wishing to assert their rights by becoming Lead Plaintiffs must do so by a specified date. If you acquired shares during the Class Period, it is essential to act promptly to ensure your voice is heard in court.
Liquidation Announcement and Management Changes
In June 2023, the Fund’s Board of Trustees approved a liquidation plan on the advice of Wildermuth Advisory, LLC. This decision raised alarm bells as it followed an unsettling reassessment of the Fund's financial health. Initially, investors were reassured that the underlying investments were stable. However, it later emerged that the Fund’s actual net asset value had significantly declined, largely due to poor performance from key portfolio companies. These facts were allegedly known to the Fund’s management and were not disclosed to the investors, creating a breach of trust.
Transition of Investment Advisory Management
As part of the liquidation process, significant changes occurred in the Fund's management. The Wildermuths, prominent figures in the Fund's advisory structure, resigned from their positions. Following their departure, BW Asset Management Ltd. took over as the new investment adviser after a thorough evaluation of the Fund’s assets. The findings indicated that investors had been misled about the Fund’s financial stability.
