The Fund
The Name
The southern constellation of the Bird of Paradise, positioned near the Southern Cross.
A navigational reference point used for centuries by those operating in the southern hemisphere. The name reflects what we believe a mineral fund should embody: precision, orientation, and the discipline to identify where value is — not where it appears to be.
Leadership
Jared Cook brings over 15 years of experience in alternative asset management and natural resource finance.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Texas at Austin and is a CFA Charterholder. Jared is responsible for fund strategy, investor relations, and transaction oversight at Apus Mineral Resources Fund LP.
