CJEU preliminary rulings as a path towards further investment law harmonisation

SLPFs: Partnership Funds Without Legal Personality Investment Services & Funds

SLPFs: Partnership Funds Without Legal Personality

The Investment Services Act (Special Limited Partnership Funds) Regulations (“LN 30 (2025)” or “the Regulations”) introduced a new type of structure for investment funds in Malta which will be useful for those who are interested in setting up a vehicle without a separate legal personality. The Regulations provide the framework for the Special Limited Partnership Fund (“SLPF”), a limited partnership without juridical personality, a structure that aligns Malta with several other leading asset-management jurisdictions.
