Crown Investments Fund is a closed-end venture capital sub-fund managed by Insight Venture – Sociedade de Capital de Risco, S.A. It sits within the Global Insight Fund umbrella and focuses on innovation-driven companies with high-growth potential across Portugal and selected European markets.
The fund is managed by Insight Venture – SCR, S.A., a licensed Portuguese venture capital management company regulated by the CMVM (Portuguese Securities Market Commission).
The fund has a confirmed size of €56 million, according to Insight Venture’s official fund listings.
The minimum subscription amount is €50,000, as published on the official fund page.
The fund has a 7-year maturity, with the possibility of extending up to 10 years depending on market conditions and portfolio exit timelines.
The fund targets innovative businesses with scalable business models, strong management teams, and the potential for long-term value creation. This typically includes technology-enabled firms, emerging industries, and high-growth commercial ventures.
Unlike the BlueWater Capital Fund (a sustainability-focused sub-fund), Crown Investments does not carry explicit Article 8 or Article 9 sustainability objectives. Its strategy is growth-driven and sector-agnostic within the venture capital scope.
The fund may qualify as Golden Visa eligible if it maintains the regulatory requirements under Portuguese law (Portuguese allocation, VC structure, CMVM regulation). However, eligibility must be confirmed directly with Insight Venture or a qualified legal advisor because no explicit Golden Visa statement is published.
Yes. As a Portuguese venture capital fund, it is expected to invest a significant proportion of its capital in Portuguese commercial companies, in line with venture fund regulatory norms. The official page indicates a strong domestic investment footprint.
No. The fund is a closed-end structure, meaning investors typically redeem capital only at the end of the fund’s life or upon successful exits.
Insight Venture does not publicly disclose the specific fee structure for Crown Investments Fund. Only confirmed figures should be entered in your system; all unverified fee fields should remain blank.
Its mandate is to identify, invest in, and support high-potential companies capable of generating superior long-term returns. The focus is on value creation, strong governance, and structured exit strategies.
There is no indication in the available disclosures that the fund uses derivatives. Venture capital funds typically pursue equity and equity-linked positions rather than derivative-based strategies.
Crown Investments Fund itself does not have a standalone sustainability disclosure. However, Insight Venture publishes ESG-related guidelines and policies for its umbrella structures, available via the sustainability section on their website.
