Malta. Pension schemes, funds licence extension

BOV Asset Management Ltd (BOVAM) has been granted the licence to provide investment management for personal retirement schemes, occupational retirement schemes and retirement funds in terms of the Retirement Pension Act.

BOV Asset Management Limited requested the extension of the licence following the legal notice that was issued last year intended to promote voluntary occupational pension schemes in Malta.
