Momentum Pensions is an international pension specialist, and its Malta arm, Momentum Pensions Malta Limited, runs from offices at Crown Marina on the Ta' Xbiex seafront. The business exists for people who have built up UK or Irish pensions and now live, or plan to live, abroad, and who want the money held in a scheme that HMRC recognises as a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme, or QROPS.
Momentum was established in 1998 and today administers more than £1.5 billion of assets for around 6,000 clients, working with about 250 key advisers. On VisitMalta.co.uk it sits in our directory of pension advisors in Malta.
What a QROPS is and what Momentum offers
A QROPS is a non-UK pension scheme that HMRC recognises as able to receive a transfer from a UK pension. Expatriates, and UK residents who intend to move overseas, can transfer the value of a UK or Irish pension into one. Momentum offers QROPS from three jurisdictions, Malta, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man, so the scheme can be matched to a person's circumstances and to the investments held inside it.
The range includes Lite and Plus QROPS options, Irish transfers, investment administration and a product comparison to help advisers and clients choose between schemes. This page does not offer advice on whether a transfer suits you: that is a decision for a suitably qualified financial adviser. If you are thinking about leaving the UK, our Malta relocation guide and Malta tax guide for UK nationals cover the wider picture.
Regulation and the Malta board
Momentum Pensions Malta Limited is licensed as a Retirement Scheme Administrator by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The Gibraltar company is regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission as a pension scheme operator, and the Isle of Man company is registered with the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority.
The Malta board is led by Managing Director Valerie Calleja, who has worked in financial services for around twenty years, with more than ten of them in risk and compliance. Josef Micallef, a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, sits on the board alongside independent non-executive director Anthony Doublet, a Certified Public Accountant who was president of the Malta Institute of Accountants from 2011 to 2013. For more on the wider sector, see our guide to financial services in Malta.
Working with advisers and members
Momentum is built around professional advisers as well as members. Its strengths are a transparent fee structure with simple charges, technical support for advisers with multi-jurisdictional knowledge and efficient administration backed by governance and due diligence. Fees are not printed on the website, so it is sensible to ask for a clear written quote.
Members can log in to a portal showing benefit payments, bank statements, investment holdings and cash position, and advisers have a separate portal for client details. Support after a death is also provided, with a dedicated bereavement service for Malta and Gibraltar schemes.
Momentum is a privately owned group, and its vision is to lead the pensions sector with transparent and compliant products, innovative technology and personable service. Its values stress staying flexible and dynamic, keeping the personal touch as it grows, and investing in recruiting and developing good people. The group aims to be a stable employer with a committed workforce, and the Malta team sits within that wider group structure alongside colleagues in Gibraltar and the Isle of Man.
