CMS Lawyer Nuno Santos explaining what a Golden Visa Fund is.

In November 2018, the Portuguese Government amended the Golden Visa legislation to allow applicants to invest via a new route – the Golden Visa Investment and Venture Capital Funds.

In order to qualify, the investment fund or venture capital fund must be registered in Portugal and have at least 60% of its capital invested in Portuguese-registered companies.

Golden Visa Funds invest into a variety of sectors including growth businesses, stocks & bonds, renewable energy, technology, agriculture, and other start up ventures.

Some funds choose to specialise whilst others tend to diversify. It is important to carefully review the characteristics of each Golden Visa Fund and decide which one you feel most comfortable with.

  1. As of October 2023, Golden Visa Funds can no longer invest in traditional real estate but fortunately, there is a selection of top funds exploring opportunities in agriculture, biotech, eco-tourism, food retail, growth businesses, and venture capital.

  1. Impact investing or ESG investing is starting to play a bigger role in Golden Visa Funds' investment principles and strategies.

Risk Profile

Risk Profile

Risk Profile

It is vital for Golden Visa investors to align their appetite for risk with the corresponding risk profiles of each of the Golden Visa Funds. We use three labels:

  1. Conservative - The least risky profile. These are usually yield-generating funds (e.g. logistics centres & agriculture) which typically have a lower returns and lower upside potential. Conservative funds appeal to Golden Visa investors focused on capital preservation rather than profits.

  1. Ambitious - The most risky profile with the highest upside potential. Usually reserved for pure venture capital funds that are focused on startups & new technologies. Ambitious funds make educated bets on pioneering businesses with big breakout potential & they appeal to Golden Visa investors who are comfortable risking their capital for higher returns.

  1. Moderate - Medium-risk. Most funds fall into this category as they try to balance medium returns via development projects & growth-business investments. Moderate funds appeal to Golden Visa investors who want to generate healthy returns on their investment.

Note: Funds with the same risk profile may not operate in exactly the same way so it's important to investigate their strategies closely. Some Golden Visa Funds consider themselves to work across two risk profiles - e.g. Conservative/Moderate or Moderate/Ambitious

Diversification

  1. Golden Visa investors are permitted to spread their €500,000 investment across multiple funds but you may also find the diversification you need within a single fund that has made diversification a core element of their investment strategy.

  1. Diversifying your Golden Visa investment is an important consideration because it allows you to blend sectors, risk profiles, and, in some cases, different geographical markets.

  1. Keep in mind that investing in multiple Golden Visa Funds will require more paperwork and could slow down your application process. Most Golden Visa applicants limit their investments to just one or two funds.
