About the Fund

A CMVM-regulated, SFDR Article 8 venture capital fund managed by Insula Capital that invests in Portuguese flexible workspaces, offering Golden Visa–eligible exposure to the “future of work” with targeted dividends from year two onwards.

Flex Space Fund is a closed-end venture capital fund (FCR) managed by Insula Capital SGOIC, one of Portugal’s larger independent asset managers with around €1.4 billion in assets under management. The fund is regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Authority (CMVM, registration no. 2103) and is fully focused on Portugal, investing in operators of flexible workspaces and light industrial hubs rather than buying real estate directly. The strategy centres on backing high-growth platforms, such as district.space, providing capital to expand locations, upgrade fit-outs and technology, and strengthen ESG performance. This approach to "operational real estate" is designed to take advantage of the growing trend of remote and hybrid work, as more companies and people prefer flexible, community-focused spaces instead of traditional offices. Flex Space Fund has a target size of €20 million, with a minimum participation of €100,000 and a standard Golden Visa subscription of €500,000. The fund has an 8-year term to June 2032 and targets an 11.65% net IRR and a 1.96x multiple on invested capital over its life, alongside targeted annual dividends of 3.75% from the second year onwards. All return figures are projections only and not guaranteed; capital is at risk and investors should expect illiquidity for the duration of the term. Classified as an Article 8 fund under SFDR, the Flex Space Fund promotes environmental and social characteristics, including energy-efficient fit-outs, sustainable materials, and programming that supports local entrepreneurship and vibrant professional communities while providing a compliant route to the Portuguese Golden Visa via investment in a regulated fund.

Important Notice for Investors

You invest in units or shares of the fund, not directly in its underlying assets. Investment in funds involves risks, including the possible loss of principal. Where a fund is described as sustainable, ESG, or impact-oriented, those characteristics reflect the fund's own disclosures — check the fund's documents and any SFDR classification; a sustainability label does not by itself determine return or risk. Please read all fund documentation carefully before making any investment decisions. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because it taps into how people actually work today. Companies want shorter leases, hybrid teams need plug-and-play spaces, and freelancers rely on community hubs. You’re investing in the operators behind this shift, not in static office buildings, which often leads to faster expansion potential and fewer legacy constraints.

Portugal has become a magnet for remote professionals, tech teams, and digital-first companies. Operators like district.space fill that need with adaptable locations across the country. The fund directly fuels this growth, so when demand rises, the operators scale—and investors participate in that value creation.

Dividends are just one part. A major value driver is the growth of the operator itself—new locations, improved occupancy, better brand recognition, and operational efficiency. When the company strengthens, the equity stake the fund holds becomes more valuable.

Yes. Once subscribed, the structure is fully managed. There’s no property upkeep, no tenant calls, and no ongoing tax questions. Investors simply complete the capital call and maintain their GV renewals; everything else is handled by the manager.

Often, yes. In uncertain periods, companies prefer flexible leases rather than locking into long-term office contracts. This can support occupancy and help operators stay relevant even when other commercial office segments slow down.

The underlying operator creates community-guided work hubs, places where entrepreneurs collaborate, small teams find affordable space, and creative industries have a base. Investors aren’t only backing a financial product; they are enabling a more inclusive, modern work culture across Portugal.

Absolutely. Many early-stage teams and international founders need flexible, scalable work environments. As Portugal attracts more global talent, operators that serve this audience are positioned for strong occupancy and expansion, both of which feed back into the fund’s long-term value.

Operational workspaces need time to mature; locations must open, fill, stabilise, and then be optimised. A closed-end structure protects the capital so the fund isn’t forced to sell early or manage unpredictable redemption flows. Investors remain aligned with the long-term growth cycle.

Because direct real estate no longer qualifies for the Golden Visa, it is important to note that the real value in this sector lies with the operator rather than the physical properties. The operator controls the brand, pricing, membership model, community strategy, and fit-out design. These elements can scale; a single building cannot.

Although Portugal is the geographic focus, the operator model naturally creates diversification across locations, membership bases, tenant types, and revenue streams. A single operator may run coworking offices, maker studios, light industrial hubs, and creative workspaces, spreading risk across multiple use cases.

Toward maturity, the manager prepares an exit strategy that may involve selling the operator stake, merging it into a larger platform, or executing a broader liquidity event. Investors then receive their share of proceeds based on the final valuation. The aim is to capture the full growth of the company over the fund’s life.
