Under
the Investment Services Act, sponsors can create open- and closed-end funds,
venture capital funds, real estate funds, futures and options funds, as

Convention for the Recognition of Trusts, now adopted by Malta, allows
Collective Investment Schemes to set up as unit trusts under foreign legal
regulations. |
