In the world of Portugal’s Golden Visa, one offering stands out, redefining what it means to secure your future while making a tangible and lasting impact.
This isn’t just another Golden Visa fund; it’s an opportunity to be part of Europe’s energy revolution. A great example is the Emerald Green Capital Fund, powered by WElink Group’s unparalleled track record and expertise in renewable energy while being managed by the regulated professionals at STAG Fund Management.
What sets the Emerald Green Capital Fund apart is its origin. It is a well-structured investment opportunity that has been carefully designed to qualify for the Portuguese Golden Visa Programme, making it arguably one of the best options for discerning investors seeking both residency and returns.
Partnering in Success, Not Promises
With a track record of developing over 1 GW of renewable energy projects, WElink isn’t just talking about renewable energy – it’s powering hundreds of thousands of homes right now.
“We’re not only going for the renewable energy label,” Hugo Paz, WElink’s General Manager for Portugal, explains. “We’re ensuring energy security for Portugal. Our projects operate on a massive scale and are critical for the region.”
The Emerald Green Capital Fund will build on existing, profitable WElink projects that are already reshaping Iberia’s energy landscape. Take Solara4, for instance, in Alcoutim, Portugal. This solar park is a crown jewel of European solar energy – a pioneering project that was one of the largest subsidy-free solar parks in Europe.
Hugo Paz, WElink’s General Manager for Portugal, emphasizes the Fund’s strategic importance to WElink: “Solara4 already powers 100,000 homes. With the Fund’s investments, we’re aiming to expand that to 300-400,000. This is about scaling proven success on a site where we have already delivered and are operating. This investment in Solara4 will enable the delivery of additional wind, solar, and battery storage assets to power a more secure energy future for the entire region.”
Unmatched Expertise
WElink isn’t new to the game. Founded in 2007, the company has consistently led the charge in renewable energy:
- By 2013, WElink had an impressive worldwide pipeline of 750 MW of solar PV project assets either delivered or in development.
- By 2016, they had established a strong presence in the Iberian and Italian markets in solar PV.
- 2018 saw WElink sell a 46 MW project to Allianz, showcasing the quality of their work.
- In 2021, they energized the 219 MW Solara4 project, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
This is a collaborative partnership with industry leaders who’ve been shaping Europe’s energy landscape for over a decade.
Safety in Numbers
For Portuguese Golden Visa investors, this translates to unprecedented security. The investment enables the expansion of a project that’s already connected to the Iberia grid and generates profits.
The fund life is seven years, but the fund manager shall start to divest in the sixth year, ensuring that Golden Visa investors have visibility on liquidity from their investment when their 5-year investment holding period is completed. This structure provides both flexibility and stability. Welink is committed to growing the business alongside the Fund investment.
The Emerald Green Capital Fund is a CMVM-approved private equity fund offering a unique proposition: invest in real, operational projects with a minimum investment of €500,000 for Golden Visa investors. It not only qualifies for the Portuguese Golden Visa program but also provides an opportunity to participate in a tax-efficient investment that blends value and purpose.
STAG Fund Management, a Portuguese-regulated fund manager with a proven track record in the Portuguese Golden Visa Program, oversees all investment and exit decisions. This ensures that your investment is in capable hands, with a team that understands both the intricacies of fund management and the specifics of the Golden Visa landscape.
The fund’s investment strategy focuses on businesses that make a lasting and tangible impact, including late-stage renewable energy development companies and energy storage. WElink, as the Investment Advisor, brings its wealth of experience to the table, having developed over 1 GW of renewable energy projects.
For Portuguese Golden Visa investors, the Emerald Green Capital Fund offers a compelling blend of security and potential. The fund targets a net yearly return of 5% per annum for investors, with income distribution targeted to begin from year three. This combination of potential returns and Portuguese Golden Visa eligibility sets the Emerald Green Capital Fund apart in the market.
The benefits extend far beyond Portugal’s borders. While the Golden Visa opens doors to this beautiful country, the Funds’ investments reach across Europe. At least 60% of the investment will be in Portuguese companies, but WElink’s projects span Portugal, Spain, Italy, and the UK. It’s not just impact investing in a country; it’s investing in Europe’s energy future.
The numbers speak volumes:
- 1 GW: WElink’s impressive track record in renewable energy development
- 219 MW: The current capacity of Solara4, Europe’s largest solar park
- 100,000 homes: The number currently powered by Solara4
