Malta has recently seen the introduction of legislation catering for the structuring of funds via contractual arrangements. This creates an interesting new option for the formation of fund vehicles with the formation of a separate and new legal entity, which may be useful in certain scenarios. We have uploaded a detailed publication addressing this new option on our website here: contractual funds under Maltese law. The publication discusses various relevant matters such as the question of legal personality, the formation process, and dissolution. This should be useful reading for anyone interested in knowing more about hedge fund structuring options in Malta.
