C2 Capital is an independent investment firm founded in 2009, with a strong track record of designing and managing diverse investment strategies. Today, we manage 15 funds across a wide range of strategies, including buyout, growth, private credit, venture capital, and liquid markets. We do not operate in real estate, allowing us to remain fully focused on financial assets and operational value creation.
Over the years, we have successfully structured and managed funds that span different investor profiles and objectives, consistently delivering solid results across our platform. One highlight of our track record is a previous buyout fund, which was primarily subscribed by Golden Visa investors.
We have already secured the full exit of this portfolio, achieving attractive returns and demonstrating our ability to deliver on our commitments to investors.

Why did you decide to create C2 Legacy Buyout?
Why did you decide to create C2 Legacy Buyout?
In 2023, after deploying most of the capital from our previous Golden Visa fund (C2 Med Capital), we continued to receive strong demand from investors seeking similar strategies.
To address this, we launched the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund, built on the same conservative foundations within the private equity market. The fund focuses on defensive sectors of the economy, such as energy and education, while also leveraging our deep expertise in industrial manufacturing.
Our strategy is to secure opportunities in high-growth, dynamic sectors, as we successfully did in healthcare in the past, while simultaneously targeting companies facing transitional challenges, such as succession issues, shareholder conflicts, limited expansion capabilities, or the need to promote management buyouts

How would you describe the Fund’s risk profile: Conservative, Moderate, or Ambitious?
How would you describe the Fund’s risk profile: Conservative, Moderate, or Ambitious?
Within the private equity space, we position ourselves as a conservative manager, focusing on defensive sectors and disciplined deal selection. That said, since private equity as an asset class is generally perceived as higher risk compared to traditional investments, we would recommend the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund primarily to investors with a moderate to ambitious risk profile.

Golden Visa rules require qualifying investments to be held for five years, but C2 Legacy Buyout’s lifetime is longer. Could you explain the fund’s lifetime, including the launch date and subscription period?
Golden Visa rules require qualifying investments to be held for five years, but C2 Legacy Buyout’s lifetime is longer. Could you explain the fund’s lifetime, including the launch date and subscription period?
The C2 Legacy Buyout Fund is fully aligned with the Golden Visa timeframe. Since the Golden Visa rules require qualifying investments to be held for five years, the fund is structured to be 100% liquid at the end of that period, enabling us to reimburse investors’ capital together with any profits.
Should there be any delays in the Golden Visa process that affect our investors, we are prepared to formally propose, through a General Assembly, an extension of the fund’s maturity to ensure alignment with the program requirements. Our commitment is to take all necessary measures on our side so that investors can successfully achieve their objectives.
Additionally, the fund was launched in December 2023, and it will close for subscription in December 2025 and will mature in January 2032.

On average, how long does it take to onboard a Golden Visa investor, and what are the main obstacles in the process?
On average, how long does it take to onboard a Golden Visa investor, and what are the main obstacles in the process?
On average, the onboarding process for a Golden Visa investor can be completed within one week, provided that the investor has all required documentation prepared.
The main bottleneck we typically encounter is the opening of a Portuguese bank account, which can extend the timeline depending on the institution and the investor’s circumstances. Once that step is resolved, the investment into the fund is executed swiftly.

The C2 Legacy Buyout Fund is a closed-ended fund, which means capital is committed What sets the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund apart is the proven track record of our
management team, which spans more than 15 years. This stands in contrast to the
majority of Golden Visa-eligible funds in the market, many of which have been
operating for less than five years. Our long-standing experience, coupled with a
disciplined investment approach, gives investors confidence that their capital is
managed by a team with deep expertise across cycles and market conditions.for a defined period. While we can assist investors who wish to sell their participation units before the end of the fund’s lifetime, it is important to note that the secondary market for such transactions is significantly less liquid, which may affect both timing and pricing. For this reason, we encourage investors to view the five-year Golden Visa holding period as the natural investment horizon.

Many potential investors have several funds to choose from. What advice would you offer to help them make the right decision?
Many potential investors have several funds to choose from. What advice would you offer to help them make the right decision?
Our advice to potential investors is to carefully evaluate the track record of the management team. This is the most important factor when selecting a fund. In the Portuguese market, there are many new funds emerging, often led by strong fundraisers who may lack the depth of experience and knowledge required to navigate the local private equity landscape. A proven history of successful investments and exits is what ultimately provides investors with confidence that their capital is in capable hands.

AvOur advice is to see the October 2023 changes as an opportunity. With real estate no longer eligible, investors can now focus on funds that invest in the real economy. The C2 Legacy Buyout Fund follows a conservative private equity strategy, offering compliance with the Golden Visa while avoiding the risks often linked to real estate.

What is your outlook for Portugal from both an investment and lifestyle perspective over the coming years?
What is your outlook for Portugal from both an investment and lifestyle perspective over the coming years?
From an investment point of view, Portugal shows positive dynamics in several areas of the economy, supported by factors such as energy transition, education, and industrial competitiveness. At the same time, we recognize that the world is interconnected, and Portugal is not immune to global economic cycles or external shocks. It is also important to note that international investors have been a key driver of foreign direct investment, which has been critical for Portugal to outperform many of its surrounding economies. From a lifestyle perspective, the country continues to offer stability, safety, and quality of life, which remain key reasons why international investors choose Portugal.
