Investment Funds

The majority of Golden Visa Investors opt to purchase real estate and we have an extensive property investment portfolio. However we are experiencing a sharp increase of interest in the Portuguese Golden Visa Investment funds option.

This alternative route to the Golden Visa requires that the investor purchases a minimum of €500,000 in Portuguese Golden Visa investment funds or venture capital funds dedicated to the capitalization of companies, whose maturity, at the moment of the investment is, at least, of five years.

Funds are regulated by the Portuguese Regulator CMVM and in order for the fund to be eligible as a Golden Visa investment a minimum of 60% investments must me made into commercial companies with head office in Portugal.

There are a number of key advantages to Portuguese Golden Visa Investment Funds are as follows:
