Why Malta?
 

The reason we have developed the FMG Malta SICAV funds are due to the following:

The general global tightening up on regulatory and compliance issues has witnessed investors increasingly favoring Malta as a European domicile with its reputation for transparency and accountability across a single market. Similarly, a greater number of Cayman and other Caribbean domiciled funds are choosing to re-domicile in Malta.

Internationally, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is a highly respected regulator. The MFSA has a huge advantage being extremely effective and being a diligent regulator. At the same time it is very proactive and pragmatic. The MFSA is creative and flexible in response to market needs so long as regulation is followed and investors remain protected. 

Existence of an Investor compensation scheme.

FMG (Malta) Ltd is the Investment Manager (fully regulated and monitored by the MFSA). This means that the Maltese FMG funds are regulated by an onshore European jurisdiction, like Luxembourg or Dublin. This provides enhanced investor protection through these highly regulated funds. 

These funds are exempt from Maltese capital gains and income taxes. Malta also benefits from an extensive double-tax treaty network, most recently with the US. Therefore, the set-up and maintenance fees are highly competitive, so reducing FMG’s overall cost base.
