Malta is, in many ways, an attractive place to do
business. This applies to business in general of course, but is
particularly the case for financial businesses. This includes
funds, be they retail collective investment schemes, alternative
investment funds or any of a wide variety of hedge funds falling
under the wide umbrella of a "professional investor fund"
or PIF.
There are myriad reasons for this attractiveness, starting from
the regulatory and legal environment within which financial
businesses and funds operate in Malta. While clearly important,
these are dealt with at length in many other places, where the
various possible structures available to a fund promoter or
manager, the advantages of each separate form, the requirements and
regulatory duties and also, last but not least, the tax regime
applicable, are discussed in depth. There is no better place to
start this exploration than FinanceMalta's guides, moving on
