Investment opportunities for European Visa Options

This video captures a discussion between David Bell and Michael Maxwell, the founder of Portugal Panorama from the vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal. Michael unveils Portugal Panorama’s innovative investment platform in Portugal, shining a spotlight on their exciting Wheels fund, which specializes in investing in classic cars in partnership with Aquila FCR. He reveals that classic cars have emerged as a star performer in the alternative asset class, surpassing even the returns from gold in recent years. The Wheels fund offers investors the chance to tap into the Portuguese Golden Visa program, which opens doors to Portuguese citizenship and residency. Michael explains that the recent changes to the Portugese visa program mean that direct real estate investments are now off the table, private equity fund options remain a viable avenue for investors. Michael sheds light on the allure of the Wheels fund for classic car enthusiasts, who not only stand to gain financially but also get to indulge in their passion for these timeless assets. He underscores the stringent governance and oversight in place for the Wheels fund, with independent evaluations and approvals mandated for any car purchases. Additionally, he observes a broader trend among high-net-worth individuals seeking to diversify their nationality and residency through investment programs, especially in response to changes in UK non-dom laws. Looking to the future, Michael expresses optimism about Italy's residency program's potential to attract investors. Shortly after recording this interview, a partnership was finalised with Ariete Capital giving a pathway to Italian residency which alongside the Portuguese scheme is a very attractive investment opportunity. The conversation offers a comprehensive insight into Portugal Panorama's classic car investment fund and its pivotal role in providing access to the Portuguese Golden Visa program.
