This notice is to make the general public aware that HSBC No-Load Funds SICAV plc (“the Scheme”) recently requested the Malta Financial Services Authority (“MFSA”) to accept the surrender of the collective investment scheme licences granted in relation to Maltese Assets Fund and Malta Government Bond Fund (“the Sub-Funds”). The MFSA has accepted the Scheme’s request. This surrender is entirely voluntary and does not arise as a result of any regulatory action taken by the MFSA. Accordingly, with effect from 27 February 2017, the Scheme and Sub-Funds ceased to be licensed by the MFSA.
