The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has unveiled two significant regulatory initiatives aimed at further strengthening Malta’s asset management sector:
- Special Limited Partnership Funds – A new framework for Collective Investment Schemes structured as Limited Partnerships without Separate Legal Personality.
- Extension of the Notified PIF Framework – The existing Notified Professional Investment Fund (NPIF) framework now accommodates Self-Managed NPIFs.
Chris Casapinta from Finco Trust welcomed these initiatives, emphasising their importance in reinforcing Malta’s competitiveness as an investment fund jurisdiction. “These are two very welcome developments that reflect Malta’s proactive approach to regulatory evolution. By introducing a framework for Special Limited Partnership Funds and extending the Notified PIF Framework to Self-Managed NPIFs, the MFSA is ensuring that fund promoters and investors benefit from greater flexibility and efficiency.”
Malta’s continued focus on regulatory innovation, combined with its EU membership advantages and cost-effective solutions, positions it as an attractive hub for investment funds. The jurisdiction’s growing financial services ecosystem and evolving regulatory landscape further enhance its standing in the international investment fund industry.
These latest measures reinforce Malta’s commitment to maintaining a dynamic and competitive financial services sector, ensuring that it remains a preferred destination for fund managers and investors worldwide.
