Our subsidiary - CRV International Limited - is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) under the Trusts and Trustees Act, and can act as Fiduciary shareholder, where the beneficial owner wishes to keep his identity confidential.

Licences to act as Fiduciaries are strictly controlled by the MFSA and only granted to companies after a rigorous compliance exercise on both the company and the shareholders and directors are carried out. Moreover at least two of the directors must be professionals with a degree and who must have passed a certain diploma course on trusts and fiduciary services.

Fiduciary companies can only carry out activities in the following areas:

• Holding shares on behalf of the ultimate beneficial owners;
• Asset Protection;
• Acting as trustees.

Shares held under fiduciary will remain confidential. The identity of the ultimate beneficial owners will not be revealed even to the MFSA (the regulator) or the tax authorities.

These confidentiality standards are set in law and are found in the Professional Secrecy Act. Any breach of these confidentiality rules can carry a prison term of two years.
