Visa & Finance
June 18, 2025
The C2 Legacy Buyout Fund, managed by C2 Capital Partners—an affiliate of global real estate investment firm Gaw Capital—presents a compelling opportunity for investors looking to participate in Portugal’s economic transformation through the Golden Visa residency-by-investment programme.
With over 15 years of experience managing multiple funds across Portugal, C2 Capital Partners brings a seasoned, locally rooted approach to private equity investment.
A Sector-Agnostic Strategy for Value Creation
The C2 Legacy Buyout Fund operates as a private equity buyout fund with a sector-agnostic investment thesis.
The fund focuses on acquiring majority stakes in established Portuguese companies that exhibit strong, consistent cash flows and untapped growth potential.
These are often businesses facing shareholder transitions or succession planning challenges, where the fund’s involvement ensures continuity by preserving existing management teams and institutional know-how.
Targeting scalable businesses across industries, the fund leverages a multifaceted strategy to enhance value, including innovation-led growth, brand and marketing development, and sector consolidation.
This forward-looking approach positions portfolio companies for long-term success in both domestic and international markets.
Attractive Potential Returns from a Stable European Market
With a projected Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 15%, the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund appeals to investors seeking a medium—to high-risk investment opportunity with potentially robust returns.
The fund's key target sectors include agriculture, education, industrial manufacturing, and energy—areas where Portugal has demonstrated both resilience and competitive potential.
Securing Portugal Golden Visa Status through Fund Investment
Investing in funds like the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund not only offers potential financial upside but also provides a pathway to residency in one of Europe’s most attractive countries through the Portugal Golden Visa programme.
The Portugal Golden Visa residency-by-investment programme offers a number of key benefits to investors. It provides legal residency in Portugal, granting the right to live, work, and study in the country.
Portugal Golden Visa holders also enjoy visa-free access to the 29 countries within the EU Schengen Area, making travel across most of Europe simple and convenient. One of the major advantages is the low physical stay requirement, with residency maintained through an average stay of just seven days per year.
After five years, Portugal Golden Visa holders have the option to apply for Portuguese citizenship and a passport, provided they meet the necessary requirements.
The programme also allows for family inclusion, enabling spouses, dependent children, and dependent parents to be covered under the same investment.
By investing in the C2 Legacy Buyout Fund, individuals not only support the growth of promising Portuguese businesses but also position themselves and their families for long-term residency and potential citizenship in a secure and thriving European nation.
