The best path to Portuguese residency

With the EUR 350,000 Monarque fund option, your investment is:

MORE ECONOMICAL than the traditional EUR 500,000 option. SAFER due to its conservative investment policy. SIMPLER as signing the Monarque Subscription Agreement.

FASTER no need to travel to decide about the investment Since 2012, the Portuguese Golden Visa allows non-EU/EEA citizens to apply for a special resident permit in exchange for a 5-year suitable investment into Portugal, requesting only a physical presence in the national territory of seven days during the first year and then no less than 14 days in each subsequent 2-year period. Until September 2018, the purchase of real estate property with a value equal to or above EUR 500,000 was the most popular available option. In 2018 Portugal opened the door to Golden Visa by capital transfer in a regulated investment fund. This means a non-EU/EEA investor can obtain his European residency by acquiring units of a fund for an amount of EUR 350,000. In 2019, Monarque launched the MPL1 Fund that:

• Is registered and regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM);

• Complies with the requirement to participate in the Golden Visa Program;

• Offers a stable return on investment with a low-to-medium risk profile; • Must dedicate at least 60% of its capital to finance commercial

companies with registered office in Portugal; • Must invest its funds via share capital increases or new issues of debt

instruments from commercial companies; • Must invest more than 50% of its capital in non-listed commercial

companies.
