Why It Matters

Supporting MiFID II, MiFIR, MAR, Prospectus & Sustainable Finance Compliance.

Capital markets businesses active in Malta must navigate an extensive regulatory arrangement that continues to evolve at both Maltese and European Union levels. Requirements can differ according to a firm’s activities, regulatory status, financial instruments, clients and role within the capital markets ecosystem. The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) is a key competent authority for capital markets supervision in Malta.

Firms may also need to consider applicable EU legislation and regulatory guidance issued against the broader European supervisory structure. At ABM Global Compliance, we deliver specialist compliance advisory and regulatory support to help capital markets businesses interpret compliance requirements, evaluate their existing arrangements and respond effectively to regulatory developments. Our practical, risk-based approach supports sustainable growth.

Your Questions Answered

What does ongoing compliance support include?

Compliance monitoring, regulatory change tracking, periodic reviews, policy refreshes, day-to-day advisory, and preparation for supervisory interactions, all scaled to your size and risk profile.

At least annually for the whole framework, with continuous monitoring in between and immediate reviews after regulatory change, new products, growth, or supervisory findings.

We strengthen your compliance function rather than replace it. Regulated firms must own compliance responsibility, so accountability stays inside your organisation while we provide the expertise.

We monitor Maltese and European developments affecting your sector, assess what each change means for your obligations, and translate it into practical implementation steps.

Yes. We run readiness reviews before supervisory interactions, strengthen documentation and evidence, brief management on likely focus areas, and support remediation afterwards.
