Fund Overview

About the Fund

The Optimize Portugal Golden Opportunities Fund was created in response to the post-2023 evolution of Portugal’s Golden Visa framework, where direct real estate investments were removed and capital-market-based funds became the primary qualifying route. Structured as an open-ended UCITS securities fund, it operates under one of the most stringent regulatory regimes in the European Union, offering daily valuation, high transparency, and continuous oversight by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM). Managed by Optimize Investment Partners SGOIC, S.A., an independent Lisbon-based asset manager, the fund follows an active “Portugal Value” strategy. Its mandate prioritises investment in Portuguese listed equities and debt instruments, targeting companies with solid fundamentals and long-term growth potential that trade at valuation discounts relative to broader European peers. The fund explicitly excludes direct and indirect real estate exposure, ensuring clear compliance with current Golden Visa eligibility rules. Unlike the closed-ended private equity structures commonly used for residency-by-investment, the Optimize fund provides daily subscription and redemption, mark-to-market pricing via published Net Asset Value (NAV), and a transparent fee model with no performance fee. Assets are held by an independent custodian and audited by a recognised international audit firm, reinforcing operational and governance safeguards. With a portfolio heavily concentrated in Portugal and a long-term capital appreciation objective, the fund is positioned as a liquid, regulated, and compliance-focused solution for investors seeking Golden Visa eligibility through public markets rather than illiquid private vehicles.
