Malta’s Fund Industry
Malta’s positioning as an international EU-based fund and asset management domicile presents a compelling proposition for fund managers either planning to set up or redomicile their funds or asset management operations to Europe. The growth of Malta as a fund domicile has been spearheaded by the registration of numerous funds under the Professional Investor Fund (PIF) regime; a regime unique to Malta and which allowed for the internationalisation of the domicile.
Malta continues to increasingly enjoy recognition as a fund domicile of repute due to a number of unique advantages offered by the domicile including, but not limited to:
- The strategic geographic location and time-zone
- Strong and stable economic status
- English as an official language
- Robust legal and regulatory framework
- Highly developed operational and services framework
- Highly skilled and multilingual workforce
- A single regulator with a pro-business approach
- Time-to-market considerations
- Cost efficiencies
- Tax considerations
