For this article, Movingto analyzed its public Portugal Golden Visa fund profiles as of June 11, 2026. The goal is to show what the visible fund market looks like before an investor starts manager diligence. The snapshot is descriptive, not a ranking. It does not recommend funds, estimate returns, or verify whether any specific investor will qualify.
The snapshot: The public count showed 38 Golden Visa-eligible funds open to new investment. The chart dataset was narrower: 32 public Golden Visa fund profiles, including 30 open profiles, 11 profiles that reported accepting U.S persons, and 17 profiles marked Movingto-verified.
Private equity was the largest category in the public profile set, with 14 of 32 profiles. Venture capital added another six. Together, private equity and venture capital represented 20 of the 32 public profiles, or about 63% of the visible dataset.
That does not mean either category is better for a particular applicant. Strategy affects liquidity, valuation, reporting, exit timing, sector exposure and tax complexity. A fund can fit the Golden Visa route and still be unsuitable for a specific investor.
The public chart dataset contained 30 profiles marked open and two marked closed. Closed public profiles remain useful because they show market history and help readers avoid treating older fund names as currently available opportunities.
The article uses two different counts for a reason. The 38-fund figure comes from the public count RPC’s open-market definition. The charts use only public-visible Golden Visa fund profiles, which produced the 32-profile dataset.
Eleven of the 32 public profiles reported accepting U.S. persons. The other 21 were unknown in the current public profile data, not confirmed rejections.
For U.S. investors, the distinction is practical. U.S.-person acceptance is a manager-declared onboarding signal, not a tax conclusion. U.S. investors still need written confirmation from the fund and tax advice on FATCA, PFIC, Form 8621, FBAR and Form 8938 reporting. Golden Visa eligibility and U.S. tax feasibility are separate diligence questions.
Seventeen of the 32 public profiles were marked Movingto-verified. That is a profile and documentation review signal, not an endorsement, approval from AIMA, or guarantee that an application will be accepted.
Review recency also varied. Three profiles had a review date within the previous 30 days, seven were reviewed 31 to 90 days before the extract, 12 were more than 90 days old, and 10 had no review date in the extracted public profile data.
Management fees were disclosed on 31 of 32 public profiles, ranging from 0.5% to 2.5%, with a 1.8% median. Performance fees were disclosed on 30 profiles, with a 20% median and a 30% maximum. Subscription fees were disclosed on 26 profiles, with a 1.4% median and a 5% maximum. Redemption fees were disclosed on 23 profiles, with a 0% median and a 5% maximum.
A fee percentage is only the starting point. Investors still need to check what the fee applies to, whether expenses sit outside it, how performance fees are structured, whether share classes differ, and whether current fund documents match the public profile.
The visible Portugal Golden Visa fund market is broad enough to require comparison, but uneven enough that disclosure gaps are part of the story. For readers, the charts are a screening map, not a shortlist. They show what still needs to be verified: strategy, status, U.S. onboarding, documentation freshness, and fee terms.

The data extract was run against Movingto Funds production data on June 11, 2026. The public count RPC returned 38 Golden-Visa-eligible funds open to new investment. The charts use a narrower public-profile dataset: public_visible=true and gv_eligible=true, which produced 32 public profiles. Missing fields are counted as unknown or not disclosed, never as zero. U.S. availability is fund-reported/manager-declared and not Movingto tax verification. Movingto Verified is a documentation/profile review signal, not an investment endorsement, AIMA approval, or eligibility guarantee.
