    Claris Foundation served as the firm's in-house giving-back initiatives, focusing on giving time (later developing into the firm's 'The Gift of Time' initiative), and also internal fund raising. Eventually, the firm used the foundation as a vehicle to channel funds raised from business and personal clients to other regulated Voluntary Organisations. The foundation was closed to enable us to focus on fund raising and supervision, leaving the administration to the beneficiary voluntary organisations. This step contributed to success in engaging our people in meaningful initiatives giving own and company time directly to helping various VOs and raising funds from them.

    Professional Investor Funds - better known as PIFs - are collective investment schemes designed for professional and high net worth investors. Due to the fact that they cannot be offered to the public at large, the law allows for a degree of flexibility in their regard. This because these are funds that can only be offered to a person having the expertise, experience and knowledge to be in a position to make his own investment decisions and understand the risks involved. The law currently provides for a threefold classification of PIFs:

    ·PIFs promoted to Experienced Investors (or Experienced Investor Funds);

    ·PIFs promoted to Qualifying Investors (or Qualifying Investor Funds);

    ·PIFs promoted to Extraordinary Investors (or Extraordinary Investor Funds)

    A Malta Holding Company is a company incorporated in Malta with the object of holding shares in other subsidiary companies or also of holding any other assets including movable and immovable property, cash and intellectual property both in and outside Malta. Malta companies benefit from a participating exemption based on the participating holding rules both on dividends from such holdings and gains arising on the disposal of such holdings. Recent amendments have extended Malta's participation exemption also to domestic holdings of shares and therefore dividends from and capital gains arising from the transfer of a participating holding in a Malta company would likewise benefit from the participation exemption.
