Recent legislative changes in Portugal — particularly the removal of real estate as an eligible investment route — have shifted the focus of foreign investors toward regulated investment funds as a structured and secure alternative for obtaining residency.
In an opinion article for The Portugal News, Patrícia Carneiro, Senior Associate in the Real Estate Department at CCA Law Firm, explores this evolving landscape. She highlights both the responsibilities that fall on investors and the crucial role of regulatory oversight in ensuring transparency and maintaining the integrity of the market.
The lawyer states: “Investing in funds is not something to be taken lightly, and it is crucial to understand who is managing the capital, how these funds are regulated, and what safeguards exist to protect investors before making any commitments.”
