Malta’s Trusted Partner in Fund Administration: BOV Fund Services
Malta has established itself as a robust financial services hub, offering a comprehensive ecosystem that includes pensions, private wealth management, credit institutions, and insurance. At the heart of this thriving sector is BOV Fund Services Limited, a leading fund administrator and a fully owned subsidiary of Bank of Valletta plc, Malta’s largest banking group and the first to be designated as systemically important on the island.
A Legacy of Excellence
The journey began in 1995, when Valletta Fund Management was formed through a joint venture between Bank of Valletta plc and Rothschild & Co Asset Management. This initiative introduced asset management solutions to the local market and laid the groundwork for Malta’s asset management industry.
By 1998, Valletta Fund Management expanded into third-party fund administration, becoming a trusted partner for fund managers and promoters establishing fund structures in Malta.
A major milestone came in 2006, when Valletta Fund Services was spun off from Valletta Fund Management to focus exclusively on fund administration. It became the first company in Malta to receive a recognition certificate from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for fund administration, establishing itself as a market leader.
In 2017, the company rebranded as BOV Fund Services, marking a new chapter in its evolution and reinforcing its strategic role within the Bank of Valletta Group.
With three decades of experience in financial services, BOV Fund Services has cultivated a deep understanding of both local and international markets. This expertise enables the company to deliver tailored solutions that meet the specific needs of fund managers and promoters.
