About


Sovereign has developed the Rinella Retirement Benefit Scheme, a multi-member QNUPS that is authorised in Malta and satisfies the necessary conditions to be regarded as a QNUPS for UK purposes. The robust regulatory framework provided by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), together with Malta’s full EU member status and network of over 70 double taxation pension agreements make Malta an ideal place for UK expatriates to set up a QNUPS.
