                               GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A.    ADDITIONAL OFFICES OR EMPLOYEES--CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER--NOTICE

      1.    Except as provided in paragraph 2 below, this Bond shall apply to
            any additional office(s) established by the Insured during the Bond
            Period and to all Employees during the Bond Period, without the need
            to give notice thereof or pay additional premiums to the Underwriter
            for the Bond Period.

      2.    If during the Bond Period an Insured Investment Company shall merge
            or consolidate with an institution in which such Insured is the
            surviving entity, or purchase substantially all the assets or
            capital stock of another institution, or acquire or create a
            separate investment portfolio, and shall within sixty (60) days
            notify the Underwriter thereof, then this Bond shall automatically
            apply to the Property and Employees resulting from such merger,
            consolidation, acquisition or creation from the date thereof;
            provided, that the Underwriter may make such coverage contingent
            upon the payment of an additional premium.

B.    WARRANTY

      No statement made by or on behalf of the Insured, whether contained in the
      Application or otherwise, shall be deemed to be an absolute warranty, but
      only a warranty that such statement is true to the best of the knowledge
      of the person responsible for such statement.

C.    COURT COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES

      The Underwriter will indemnify the Insured against court costs and
      reasonable attorneys' fees incurred and paid by the Insured in defense of
      any legal proceeding brought against the Insured claiming that the Insured
      is liable for any loss, claim or damage which, if established against the
      Insured, would constitute a loss sustained by the Insured covered under
      the terms of this Bond; provided, however, that with respect to Insuring
      Agreement A this indemnity shall apply only in the event that

      1.    an Employee admits to having committed or is adjudicated to have
            committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which caused the
            loss; or

      2.    in the absence of such an admission or adjudication, an arbitrator
            or arbitrators acceptable to the Insured and the Underwriter
            concludes, after a review of an agreed statement of facts, that an
            Employee has committed a Dishonest or Fraudulent Act or Theft which
            caused the loss.

      The Insured shall promptly give notice to the Underwriter of any such
      legal proceeding and upon request shall furnish the Underwriter with
      copies of all pleadings and other papers therein. At the Underwriter's
      election the Insured shall permit the Underwriter to conduct the defense
      of such legal proceeding in the Insured's name, through attorneys of the
      Underwriter's selection. In such event, the Insured shall give all
      reasonable information and assistance which the Underwriter shall deem
      necessary to the proper defense of such legal proceeding.

      If the amount of the Insured's liability or alleged liability in any such
      legal proceeding is greater than the amount which the Insured would be
      entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant to this General
      Agreement C), or if a Deductible Amount is applicable, or both, the
      indemnity liability of the Underwriter under this General Agreement C is
      limited to the proportion of court costs and attorneys' fees incurred and
      paid by the Insured or by the Underwriter that the amount which the
      Insured would be entitled to recover under this Bond (other than pursuant
      to this General Agreement C) bears to the sum of such amount plus the
      amount which the Insured is not entitled to recover. Such indemnity shall
      be in addition to the Limit of Liability for the applicable Insuring
      Agreement.



             THIS BOND, INCLUDING THE FOREGOING INSURING AGREEMENTS
               AND GENERAL AGREEMENTS, IS SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING

      Underwriter shall not be subrogated to any such rights or claims one named

      assignments or other documents and take such action as the Underwriter may
      deem necessary or desirable to secure and perfect such rights and claims,
      including the execution of documents necessary to enable the Underwriter
      to bring suit in the name of the Insured.

      Assignment of any rights or claims under this Bond shall not bind the

SECTION 4. LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the
      Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone
      other than the Insured, except that if the Insured includes such other
      loss in the Insured's proof of loss, the Underwriter shall consider its
      liability therefor. As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60)
      days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder, the Insured shall give
      the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as practicable and
      within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to the
      Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. The
      Underwriter may extend the sixty day notice period or the one year proof
      of loss period if the Insured requests an extension and shows good cause
      therefor.

      See also General Agreement C (Court Costs and Attorneys' Fees).

      The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities
      unless each of the Securities is identified in such proof of loss by a
      certificate or bond number or by such identification means as the
      Underwriter may require. The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period
      after receipt of a proper affirmative proof of loss within which to
      investigate the claim, but where the loss is of Securities and is clear
      and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight (48) hours
      even if the loss involves Securities of which duplicates may be obtained.

      The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings against the Underwriter to
      recover any loss hereunder prior to sixty (60) days after filing such
      proof of loss or subsequent to twenty-four (24) months after the discovery
      of such loss or, in the case of a legal proceeding to recover hereunder on
      account of any judgment against the Insured in or settlement of any suit
      mentioned in General Agreement C or to recover court costs or attorneys'
      fees paid in any such suit, twenty-four (24) months after the date of the
      final judgment in or settlement of such suit. If any limitation in this
      Bond is prohibited by any applicable law, such limitation shall be deemed
      to be amended to be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by
      such law.

      Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims,
      ICI Mutual Insurance Company, P.O. Box 730, Burlington, Vermont
      05402-0730.



SECTION 5. DISCOVERY

      For all purposes under this Bond, a loss is discovered, and discovery of a
      loss occurs, when the Insured

      (1)   becomes aware of facts, or

      (2)   receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party
            which alleges that the Insured is liable under circumstances,

      which would cause a reasonable person to assume that loss covered by this
      Bond has been or is likely to be incurred even though the exact amount or
      details of loss may not be known.

SECTION 6. VALUATION OF PROPERTY

      For the purpose of determining the amount of any loss hereunder, the value
      of any Property shall be the market value of such Property at the close of
      business on the first business day before the discovery of such loss;
      except that

      (1)   the value of any Property replaced by the Insured prior to the
            payment of a claim therefor shall be the actual market value of such
            Property at the time of replacement, but not in excess of the market
            value of such Property on the first business day before the
            discovery of the loss of such Property;

      (2)   the value of Securities which must be produced to exercise
            subscription, conversion, redemption or deposit privileges shall be
            the market value of such privileges immediately preceding the
            expiration thereof if the loss of such Securities is not discovered
            until after such expiration, but if there is no quoted or other
            ascertainable market price for such Property or privileges referred
            to in clauses (1) and (2), their value shall be fixed by agreement
            between the parties or by arbitration before an arbitrator or
            arbitrators acceptable to the parties; and

      (3)   the value of books of accounts or other records used by the Insured
            in the conduct of its business shall be limited to the actual cost
            of blank books, blank pages or other materials if the books or
            records are reproduced plus the cost of labor for the transcription
            or copying of data furnished by the Insured for reproduction.

SECTION 7. LOST SECURITIES

      The maximum liability of the Underwriter hereunder for lost Securities
      shall be the payment for, or replacement of, such Securities having an
      aggregate value not to exceed the applicable Limit of Liability. If the
      Underwriter shall make payment to the Insured for any loss of securities,
      the Insured shall assign to the Underwriter all of the Insured's right,
      title and interest in and to such Securities. In lieu of such payment, the
      Underwriter may, at its option, replace such lost Securities, and in such
      case the Insured shall cooperate to effect such replacement. To effect the
      replacement of lost Securities, the Underwriter may issue or arrange for
      the issuance of a lost instrument bond. If the value of such Securities
      does not exceed the applicable Deductible Amount (at the time of the
      discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay the usual premium charged for
      the lost instrument bond and will indemnify the issuer of such bond
      against all loss and expense that it may sustain because of the issuance
      of such bond.

      If the value of such Securities exceeds the applicable Deductible Amount
      (at the time of discovery of the loss), the Insured will pay a proportion
      of the usual premium charged for the lost instrument bond, equal to the
      percentage that the applicable Deductible Amount bears to the value of
      such Securities upon discovery of the loss, and will indemnify the issuer
      of such bond against all loss and expense that is not recovered from the
      Underwriter under the terms and conditions of this Bond, subject to the
      applicable Limit of Liability.



SECTION 8. SALVAGE

      If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the Underwriter, on
      account of any loss within the applicable Limit of Liability hereunder,
      the Underwriter shall be entitled to the full amount of such recovery to
      reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder with respect to
      such loss. If any recovery is made, whether by the Insured or the
      Underwriter, on account of any loss in excess of the applicable Limit of
      Liability hereunder plus the Deductible Amount applicable to such loss
      from any source other than suretyship, insurance, reinsurance, security or
      indemnity taken by or for the benefit of the Underwriter, the amount of
      such recovery, net of the actual costs and expenses of recovery, shall be
      applied to reimburse the Insured in full for the portion of such loss in
      excess of such Limit of Liability, and the remainder, if any, shall be
      paid first to reimburse the Underwriter for all amounts paid hereunder
      with respect to such loss and then to the Insured to the extent of the
      portion of such loss within the Deductible Amount. The Insured shall
      execute all documents which the Underwriter deems necessary or desirable
      to secure to the Underwriter the rights provided for herein.

SECTION 9. NON-REDUCTION AND NON-ACCUMULATION OF LIABILITY AND TOTAL LIABILITY

      Prior to its termination, this Bond shall continue in force up to the
      Limit of Liability for each Insuring Agreement for each Single Loss,
      notwithstanding any previous loss (other than such Single Loss) for which
      the Underwriter may have paid or be liable to pay hereunder; PROVIDED,
      however, that regardless of the number of years this Bond shall continue
      in force and the number of premiums which shall be payable or paid, the
      liability of the Underwriter under this Bond with respect to any Single
      Loss shall be limited to the applicable Limit of Liability irrespective of
      the total amount of such Single Loss and shall not be cumulative in
      amounts from year to year or from period to period.

SECTION 10. MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF UNDERWRITER; OTHER BONDS OR POLICIES

      The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by
      any Insuring Agreement under this Bond shall be the Limit of Liability
      applicable to such Insuring Agreement, subject to the applicable
      Deductible Amount and the other provisions of this Bond. Recovery for any
      Single Loss may not be made under more than one Insuring Agreement. If any
      Single Loss covered under this Bond is recoverable or recovered in whole
      or in part because of an unexpired discovery period under any other bonds
      or policies issued by the Underwriter to the Insured or to any predecessor
      in interest of the Insured, the maximum liability of the Underwriter shall
      be the greater of either (1) the applicable Limit of Liability under this
      Bond, or (2) the maximum liability of the Underwriter under such other
      bonds or policies.

SECTION 11. OTHER INSURANCE

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any loss covered by
      this Bond shall also be covered by other insurance or suretyship for the
      benefit of the Insured, the Underwriter shall be liable hereunder only for
      the portion of such loss in excess of the amount recoverable under such
      other insurance or suretyship, but not exceeding the applicable Limit of
      Liability of this Bond.



SECTION 12. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT

      The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless
      the amount of the loss covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount
      of all reimbursement and/or recovery received by the Insured with respect
      to such loss (other than from any other bond, suretyship or insurance
      policy or as an advance by the Underwriter hereunder) shall exceed the
      applicable Deductible Amount; in such case the Underwriter shall be liable
      only for such excess, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability and the
      other terms of this Bond.

      No Deductible Amount shall apply to any loss covered under Insuring
      Agreement A sustained by any Investment Company named as an Insured.

SECTION 13. TERMINATION

      The Underwriter may terminate this Bond as to any Insured or all Insureds
      only by written notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this Bond is
      terminated as to any Investment Company, to each such Investment Company
      terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission,
      Washington, D.C., in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the
      effective date of termination specified in such notice.

      The Insured may terminate this Bond only by written notice to the
      Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of
      the termination specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      when the Insured terminates this Bond as to any Investment Company, the
      effective date of termination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from
      the date the Underwriter provides written notice of the termination to
      each such Investment Company terminated thereby and to the Securities and
      Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.

      This Bond will terminate as to any Insured that is a Non-Fund immediately
      and without notice upon (1) the takeover of such Insured's business by any
      State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, or
      (2) the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative
      to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the
      benefit of creditors of the Insured.

      Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The
      Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in
      accordance with the Underwriter's standard short rate cancellation tables
      if this Bond is terminated by the Insured or pro rata if this Bond is
      terminated by the Underwriter.

      Upon the detection by any Insured that an Employee has committed any
      Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft, the Insured shall immediately
      remove such Employee from a position that may enable such Employee to
      cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any subsequent Dishonest or
      Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft. The Insured, within two (2) business days of
      such detection, shall notify the Underwriter with full and complete
      particulars of the detected Dishonest or Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

      For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer,
      or supervisory employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with such
      Employee, becomes aware that the Employee has committed any Dishonest or
      Fraudulent Act(s) or Theft.

      This Bond shall terminate as to any Employee by written notice from the
      Underwriter to each Insured and, if such Employee is an Employee of an
      Insured Investment Company, to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
      all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of
      termination specified in such notice.



SECTION 14. RIGHTS AFTER TERMINATION

      At any time prior to the effective date of termination of this Bond as to
      any Insured, such Insured may, by written notice to the Underwriter, elect
      to purchase the right under this Bond to an additional period of twelve
      (12) months within which to discover loss sustained by such Insured prior
      to the effective date of such termination and shall pay an additional
      premium therefor as the Underwriter may require.

      Such additional discovery period shall terminate immediately and without
      notice upon the takeover of such Insured's business by any State or
      Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator. Promptly
      after such termination the Underwriter shall refund to the Insured any
      unearned premium.

      The right to purchase such additional discovery period may not be
      exercised by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver
      or liquidator, acting or appointed to take over the Insured's business.

SECTION 15. CENTRAL HANDLING OF SECURITIES

      The Underwriter shall not be liable for loss in connection with the
      central handling of securities within the systems established and
      maintained by any Depository ("Systems"), unless the amount of such loss
      exceeds the amount recoverable or recovered under any bond or policy or
      participants' fund insuring the Depository against such loss (the
      "Depository's Recovery"); in such case the Underwriter shall be liable
      hereunder only for the Insured's share of such excess loss, subject to the
      applicable Limit of Liability, the Deductible Amount and the other terms
      of this Bond.

      For determining the Insured's share of such excess loss, (1) the Insured
      shall be deemed to have an interest in any certificate representing any
      security included within the Systems equivalent to the interest the
      Insured then has in all certificates representing the same security
      included within the Systems; (2) the Depository shall have reasonably and
      fairly apportioned the Depository's Recovery among all those having an
      interest as recorded by appropriate entries in the books and records of
      the Depository in Property involved in such loss, so that each such
      interest shall share in the Depository's Recovery in the ratio that the
      value of each such interest bears to the total value of all such
      interests; and (3) the Insured's share of such excess loss shall be the
      amount of the Insured's interest in such Property in excess of the
      amount(s) so apportioned to the Insured by the Depository.

      This Bond does not afford coverage in favor of any Depository or Exchange
      or any nominee in whose name is registered any security included within
      the Systems.

SECTION 16. ADDITIONAL COMPANIES INCLUDED AS INSURED

      If more than one entity is named as the Insured:

      A.    the total liability of the Underwriter hereunder for each Single
            Loss shall not exceed the Limit of Liability which would be
            applicable if there were only one named Insured, regardless of the
            number of Insured entities which sustain loss as a result of such
            Single Loss,

      B.    the Insured first named in Item 1 of the Declarations shall be
            deemed authorized to make, adjust, and settle, and receive and
            enforce payment of, all claims hereunder as the agent of each other
            Insured for such purposes and for the giving or receiving of any
            notice required or permitted to be given hereunder; provided, that
            the Underwriter shall promptly furnish each named Insured Investment
            Company with (1) a copy of this Bond and any amendments thereto, (2)
            a copy of each formal filing of a claim hereunder by any other
            Insured, and (3) notification of the terms of the settlement of each
            such claim prior to the execution of such settlement,



      C.    the Underwriter shall not be responsible or have any liability for
            the proper application by the Insured first named in Item 1 of the
            Declarations of any payment made hereunder to the first named
            Insured,

      D.    for the purposes of Sections 4 and 13, knowledge possessed or
            discovery made by any partner, officer or supervisory Employee of
            any Insured shall constitute knowledge or discovery by every named
            Insured,

      E.    if the first named Insured ceases for any reason to be covered under
            this Bond, then the Insured next named shall thereafter be
            considered as the first named Insured for the purposes of this Bond,
            and

      F.    each named Insured shall constitute "the Insured" for all purposes
            of this Bond.

SECTION 17. NOTICE AND CHANGE OF CONTROL

      Within thirty (30) days after learning that there has been a change in
      control of an Insured by transfer of its outstanding voting securities the
      Insured shall give written notice to the Underwriter of:

      A.    the names of the transferors and transferees (or the names of the
            beneficial owners if the voting securities are registered in another
            name), and

      B.    the total number of voting securities owned by the transferors and
            the transferees (or the beneficial owners), both immediately before
            and after the transfer, and

      C.    the total number of outstanding voting securities.

      As used in this Section, "control" means the power to exercise a
      controlling influence over the management or policies of the Insured.

SECTION 18. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

      This Bond may only be modified by written Rider forming a part hereof over
      the signature of the Underwriter's authorized representative. Any Rider
      which modifies the coverage provided by Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity, in
      a manner which adversely affects the rights of an Insured Investment
      Company shall not become effective until at least sixty (60) days after
      the Underwriter has given written notice thereof to the Securities and
      Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to each Insured Investment
      Company affected thereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Underwriter has caused this Bond to be executed on the
Declarations Page.

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood
and agreed that this Bond (other than Insuring Agreements C and D) does not
cover loss resulting from or in connection with any business, activities, acts
or omissions of (including services rendered by) any Insured which is not an
Insured Fund ("Non-Fund") or any Employee of a Non-Fund, except loss, otherwise
covered by the terms of this Bond, resulting from or in connection with

      (1)   services rendered by a Non-Fund to an Insured Fund, or to
            shareholders of such Fund in connection with the issuance, transfer,
            or redemption of their Fund shares; or

      (2)   Investment Advisory Services rendered by Thomas J. Herzfeld

      (3)   in the case of a Non-Fund substantially all of whose business is
            rendering the services described in (1) or (2) above, the general
            business, activities or operations of such Non-Fund, excluding (a)
            the rendering of services (other than those described in (1) or (2)
            above) to any person, or (b) the sale of goods or property of any
            kind.

It is further understood and agreed that with respect to any Non-Fund, Insuring
Agreements C and D only cover loss of Property which a Non-Fund uses or holds,

connection with the rendering of services described in (1) or (2) above.

As used herein, "Investment Advisory Services" means (a) advice with respect to
the desirability of investing in, purchasing or selling securities or other

In consideration of the premium charged for this Bond, it is hereby understood
and agreed that this Bond does not cover any loss resulting from or in
connection with the acceptance of any Third Party Check, unless

      (1)   such Third Party Check is used to open or increase an account which
            is registered in the name of one or more of the payees on such Third
            Party Check, and

      (2)   reasonable efforts are made by the Insured, or by the entity
            receiving Third Party Checks on behalf of the Insured, to verify all
            endorsements on all Third Party Checks made payable in amounts
            greater than $100,000 (provided, however, that the isolated failure
            to make such efforts in a particular instance will not preclude
            coverage, subject to the exclusions herein and in the Bond),

and then only to the extent such loss is otherwise covered under this Bond.

For purposes of this Rider, "Third Party Check" means a check made payable to
one or more parties and offered as payment to one or more other parties.

It is further understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything to the
contrary above or elsewhere in the Bond, this Bond does not cover any loss
resulting from or in connection with the acceptance of a Third Party Check
where:

      (1)   any payee on such Third Party Check reasonably appears to be a
            corporation or other entity; or

      (2)   such Third Party Check is made payable in an amount greater than
            $100,000 and does not include the purported endorsements of all
            payees on such Third Party Check.

It is further understood and agreed that this Rider shall not apply with respect
to any coverage that may be available under Insuring Agreement A, "Fidelity."

Except as above stated, nothing herein shall be held to alter, waive or extend
any of the terms of this Bond.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company
("ICI Mutual"), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 (the "Act"). The Act establishes a Federal insurance backstop under
which ICI Mutual and these other insurers will be partially reimbursed for
future "insured losses" resulting from certified "acts of terrorism." (Each of
these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain
disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers.

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified "acts
of terrorism" will be partially reimbursed by the United States government under
a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States
government will reimburse ICI Mutual for 90% of ICI Mutual's "insured losses" in
excess of a statutorily established deductible until total insured losses of all
participating insurers reach $100 billion. If total "insured losses" of all
property and casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any applicable period,
the Act provides that the insurers will not be liable under their policies for
their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable
under this bond may be reduced as a result.

This bond has no express exclusion for "acts of terrorism." However, coverage
under this bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions and
limitations of the bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the
Act. The portion of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially
available under the bond for "acts of terrorism" is one percent (1%).



The following resolution was passed by unanimous vote of the Board of Directors
on May 2, 2006:

              The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc. (the "Fund")

                     Approval of the Fidelity Bond Coverage

RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors authorizes the Officers of the Fund to
secure a Fidelity Bond as issued by ICI Mutual Insurance in the form and amounts
presented at this meeting; and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors authorizes the following
allocation of premium:

The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund   60%
Thomas J. Herzfeld Advisors, Inc.   38%
Thomas J. Herzfeld & Co. Inc.        2%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
