Portugal Investment 1 is an open-ended private equity and venture capital vehicle sponsored by Saratoga Capital Partners, targeting unlisted Portuguese SMEs and mid-caps undergoing financial restructuring, ownership succession, or operational transitions. The fund leverages Saratoga's in-house operational expertise and hands-on approach to unlock value through equity and fully secured private debt, with capital market placements via blue-chip providers to maintain secondary-market liquidity. Sector-agnostic and return-driven, it invests across industrial, production, and information-technology verticals, aiming for an annualized return of 8–11% over the investment cycle. Investors must commit at least €500,000 and maintain their holding for six years to qualify for the Portuguese Golden Visa, after which they may transfer ownership to third parties or exit tax-free.
