On the 15^th July 2014, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) issued a Circular to the financial services industry on the publication of a new regulation with regard to regulatory technical standards determining types of alternative investment fund managers.

The Regulatory Technical Standards (RTSs) determining the types of alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) managing alternative investment funds (“AIF”), published in the Official Journal of the European Union on the 24^th June 2014, effectively supplements the AIFM Directive, detailing the circumstances when an AIFM will be considered to be managing open-ended AIFs or, alternatively, close-ended AIFs.
