ENGLISH VERSION
IL-MALTA ASSOCIATION of SMALL SHAREHOLDERS
The Association was founded in December 2011 under the name of Malta Association of Small Shareholders (MASS). At its first General Meeting held in February 2012, a Statute was approved, and a Committee elected. Subsequently, the Association was registered with the Commissioner of Voluntary Organisations and given the enrollment Code VO 0629. The Statute was amended in 2017.
The Committee meets in an office at the MSE, Garrison Chapel, Castille Place, Il-Belt Valletta VLT 1063
MASS is a Member of Better Finance (short name for the European Federation of Investors and Financial Services Users) The mission statement of BF is like that of the Malta Association of Small Shareholders, and we are proud to form part of it.
MAIN PURPOSE.
MASS carries out its main objective; that of increasing ‘financial literacy’ among the retail investor, by acquiring sufficient knowledge to help them make wise choices for their investments. This was done and is still being done, by holding public conferences where professionals in different branches of the financial market give lectures on their specialisation. These were maybe University Professors, Chairpersons/Board of Directors of banks, and managers from the Malta Financial Services Authority and the Malta Stock Exchange, just to name a few.
MASS is the voice of the minority shareholders. It raises their concerns and puts questions about the prospects of the company’s future, and other matters to the Board of Directors of MSE-listed companies.
The Association’s news, informative and educational articles are published in its newsletter – Shareholders’ News – issued monthly (with exceptions). However, e-mail is greatly used to keep more frequent contact with its members.
