As the financial sector in Malta is extremely developed and highly appreciated worldwide, a&nbsp;<strong>Maltese hedge fund<\/strong>&nbsp;can be the ideal solution in this sense. As in the case of other types of funds, the MFSA is the authority that regulates this type of&nbsp;<strong>Maltese investment fund<\/strong>. Among the formalities for&nbsp;<strong>registering a start-up hedge fund in Malta<\/strong>&nbsp;we mention:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A license is required, according to the Investment Services Act 1994, and where applicable, exceptions to this rule will apply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Those interested in the Maltese hedge fund must prove that they have the necessary knowledge in the field and that they are qualifying shareholders. They must pass the &#8220;fit and proper&#8221; test.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It will be necessary to appoint a bottom manager in this direction, and here it is not mandatory for him\/her to have a&nbsp;<strong>residence in Malta<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the above aspects, you should know that this type of investment fund can be promoted in the relevant jurisdiction, taking into account certain guidelines.
