Шаблон:Use dmy dates The Anglo Adriatic Investment Fund SA was an investment fund set up to hold privatisation vouchers issued by the government of post-Communist Albania. It was unsuccessful in its attempts to reinvest them and collapsed. Шаблон:Infobox Organization

Structure

The Anglo Adriatic Investment Fund SA[1] (AAIF) was established by Irish entrepreneur Declan Ganley.[2] AAIF was the first[2] foreign-managed investment fund in Albania, provisionally licensed on 13 April 1996[2] and definitively licensed on 22 May 1996.[3] AAIF collected privatisation vouchers[4][2] that the government of post-communist Albania was giving to Albanians, and it used the nominal value of those vouchers for investment in areas such as fertilizer,[2] breweries,[5] cement[5] and pharmaceuticals.[5] The Albanians who deposited their vouchers with AAIF received shares in the fund in return.[4]

Early success

At one point the fund had 450,000 shareholders and vouchers with a nominal value of more than $120 million.[4]

Collapse

But AAIF had collected too many vouchers: it had 12%[3] of all the vouchers and privatisation leks combined, more than the 10% maximum[3] prescribed by law.[nb 1] Following a lengthy period of negotiation and accusation between AAIF and the Albanian government,[3] AAIF was left unable to continue with the privatisation.[3] Even worse, the market value of the vouchers had dropped during the collapse of the Albanian economy from 25.6%[3] of their nominal value in January 1996[3] to 1.7%[3] in October 1998.[3] AAIF was bankrupt.[3]

Funding

AAIF was officially funded by Ganley International,[6][2] with a 10%[2] stake taken by the US-based Rothschild Emerging Markets Fund.[2] Der Spiegel stated[7] that AAIF's UK office (128 Mount Street, London, W1Y 5HA[8]) shared an address with the European branch of US investment fund Paladin Capital, and also stated[7] that Paladin Capital's advisory board was chaired by former CIA director James Woolsey. Ganley denies any involvement with the CIA.[9]
