CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund Achieves $1 Billion Milestone

Landmark reflects growing demand for diversified exposure to differentiated private market opportunities across multiple asset classes

HOUSTON, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CAZ Investments ("CAZ"), a leading alternative investment firm, today announced that the CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, marking a milestone in the Firm's efforts to make private market opportunities more accessible to investors and their advisors.

The Fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of private market investments through a single investment vehicle, bringing together multiple themes including professional sports, energy, space and defense, GP stakes, and other thematic opportunities. These investments have historically required significant capital, specialized experience, and multiple investment commitments, making broad exposure difficult for many investors to achieve.

"We believe the future of portfolio construction will look very different from the past, with private markets playing an increasingly important role in how investors pursue diversification and long-term returns," said Christopher Zook, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of CAZ Investments. "Surpassing $1 billion in assets under management is an important marker for the Fund, but what makes this even more meaningful is that it represents a growing number of investors and advisors recognizing the value of accessing a broad range of opportunities through a single, thoughtfully constructed portfolio."

The CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund has generated a 17.42% annualized return (net of fees) since its inception on March 1, 2024, and a 22.02% return over the last 12 months (as of October 31, 2026). The Fund offers investors daily subscriptions with no subscription document required, 1099 Tax Reporting, lower minimums ($2,500), no performance fees (management fee only, substantial fees and expenses are associated with GP Stakes and the funds specifically), and quarterly repurchases. The Fund intends to offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders in each quarter in an amount between 5% and 25% of the Fund's outstanding Shares at NAV. Advisors and investors can access the Fund on custodial and alternative investment platforms such as Schwab, Fidelity, CAIS, Pershing, and SoFi.

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted above. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For performance information current to the most recent month-end, please call toll-free 713-403-8250. The Adjusted Expense Ratio is 1.00%. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses to limit total annual fund operating expenses (excluding management fees, Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expenses, and certain extraordinary expenses) to no more than 1.00% of the Fund's average monthly net assets (the "Expense Cap"). The gross expense ratio for class I is 3.77%. The Adviser may recoup waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses if (i) the waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses have fallen to a level below the Expense Cap and (ii) the reimbursement amount does not raise the level of waived fees, reimbursed expenses or directly paid expenses in the month the reimbursement is being made to a level that exceeds the Expense Cap applicable at that time. These contractual arrangements will remain in effect until January 9, 2027 unless the Fund's Board of Trustees approves their earlier termination.

The CAZ Strategic Opportunities Fund is a continuously offered, closed-end interval fund with limited liquidity that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Securities Act of 1933.

Risk Considerations. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. The value of the Fund's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will achieve its objectives, generate profits or avoid losses.

Shareholders should not expect to be able to sell their Shares regardless of how the Fund performs. An investment in the Fund is considered illiquid. The Fund's Board of Trustees has complete discretion to determine whether the Fund will engage in any share repurchase, and if so, the terms of such repurchase. No assurances can be given that the Fund will engage in a share repurchase in any given quarter.

The Fund's distributions may be funded from unlimited amounts of offering proceeds or borrowings, which may constitute a return of capital and reduce the amount of capital available to the Fund for investment. Any capital returned to shareholders through distributions will be distributed after payment of fees and expenses. A return of capital to shareholders is a return of a portion of their original investment in the Fund, thereby reducing the tax basis of their investment. As a result of such reduction in tax basis, shareholders may be subject to tax in connection with the sale of Fund Shares, even if such Shares are sold at a loss relative to the shareholder's original investment.
