Malta’s Position

Being one of the youngest EU Member states, Malta’s financial services industry has grown year on year and has attracted asset managers, funds, banks and other institutions. The Maltese legal system is a mix of continental as well as British laws with various laws having been modelled on the British model, in particular in relation to company law, taxation and maritime law. Malta has also adopted EU Directives & Regulations.

Malta’s affinity with the UK, the similarity in terms of laws and the ability to re-domicile operations both into and out of Malta (applies to both funds and asset management companies) gives asset managers the possibility of continuing their operations in a seamless fashion within a professional environment. The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is modernizing the way it regulates and serves the needs of the industry to reduce bureaucracy and this, coupled with the extensive range of legal and accounting services available, is positioning the island as an ideal jurisdiction for fund and asset managers to set up and continue managing EU based funds and have access to the EU market.
