News-style analysis of how Explorer Investments is channeling private equity capital into Portuguese companies – and why international investors see the Portugal Golden Visa as a powerful additional benefit of committing €500k+ to CMVM-regulated funds focused on real assets and domestic champions.

Portugal’s recent performance – from being named The Economist’s “economy of the year” to collecting multiple World Travel Awards – is drawing fresh attention to its companies and real assets. In this news-style article, Explorer Investments explains how its private equity funds are designed to back well-positioned Portuguese businesses in sectors such as hospitality, tourism platforms, residential and mixed-use projects, and export-oriented services.

Crucially, a subset of these CMVM-regulated funds is structured to be compatible with the €500,000 Portugal Golden Visa fund route. For sophisticated families in the UK, US, the Middle East and Asia, the Golden Visa is a bonus rather than the only reason to invest: the core thesis is disciplined exposure to Portuguese growth through a professional private equity manager like Explorer, with EU residency as an additional layer of value.
