If you express interest in an investment opportunity listed on this website (including an Acceptable Managed Fund or an Acceptable Direct Investment), the Invest New Zealand Investment Team may, as a conduit only, facilitate an introduction to the relevant fund manager or investee entity. Outside of that, Invest New Zealand’s involvement ends. Investors may contact a listed fund manager or investee entity directly using the links provided.
At the time of assessing an application for an Active Investor Plus visa, Immigration New Zealand will assess the relevant investment transaction and determine whether the investment met the applicable visa requirements at the time the transaction occurred, including (as relevant) whether a managed fund was on the Acceptable Managed Fund List or whether a direct investment met the criteria for an acceptable direct investment.
The status of any managed fund or direct investment as acceptable for the purposes of the Active Investor Plus visa, including the publishing of any Managed Investment Scheme on the Acceptable Managed Fund List, does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Invest New Zealand.
