The Growth category includes higher-risk investments, including managed funds and direct investments in New Zealand businesses.
These investments are typically illiquid and may require a long-term commitment, which may extend beyond the minimum investment requirements of the Active Investor Plus visa.
Due to their extended duration and risk profile, these investments may not be suitable for all investors. It is important that investors assess their financial situation and risk tolerance, and seek the advice of a financial advice provider and/or a professional tax adviser before making any investment decisions.
The inclusion of an investment opportunity on Invest NZ's website, the Live Deals platform or any other Invest NZ publication does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by Invest NZ. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes instances where an investment opportunity is noted as being “prepared” or “supported” by Invest NZ (as Invest NZ’s role is limited to supporting the investee company in preparing the investment opportunity). In the case of being classed as AIP “approved” investments, Invest NZ’s role is limited to determining that investments meet the relevant criteria in the Immigration Instructions.
Invest NZ is not a provider of an investment advisory service and any information provided by Invest NZ in relation to an investment opportunity is not intended as a substitute for specific professional advice on investments, financial planning or any other matter, and does not take into account any particular investor’s objectives, financial situation, or needs. Investors should seek the advice of a financial advice provider and/or a professional tax adviser before making any investment decisions. All investments, including those included on Invest NZ’s website, the Live Deals platform or in any other Invest NZ publication, are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in repayment and loss of income and capital invested, among other risks. No person, including Invest NZ, guarantees any particular rate of return on, the financial health of, the performance of or the repayment of an investment. Any decision to invest in any investment must be made solely on the basis of the information provided by the investee company.
