The Malta Institute of Management (MIM) is organising a seminar entitled ‘Islamic Trusts’ on Wednesday, 18 November at the Radisson SAS Baypoint, St Julian’s between 5 and 7.45pm. The seminar has attracted both high quality speakers and delegates, including MIM chairman Reuben Buttigieg, Mario Farrugia Borg and Toby Birch.

Speaking about the seminar, Reuben Buttigieg, MIM chairman and Erremme Business Advisors managing director said: “Muslims created trusts for various purposes from the earliest times of the Islamic era. In our era, a trust is created through a legal process of registration that requires the expertise of attorneys and other professionals. Malta, with its Trusts and Trustees Act, is presented with an opportunity to provide such a service to the Islamic Community in the Mediterranean. The 1.5 million Muslims in Italy, as well as in other Mediterranean countries, do not have the appropriate legislation at hand.”

The seminar, which has been accredited with 1.5 hours of structured CPE and qualifies for the attainment of Professional Competencies in terms of the MIA CPE Regulations, is being held in cooperation with various organisations, including MIM and collaborating partners AirMalta, BOV and Business Today.

The seminar sponsors are Erremme Business Advisors and Francis J. Vassallo Ltd.

More information about the seminar and application forms are available from the MIM website www.maltamanagement.com (News and Events Section).
