Gaia Investment Fund

The Gaia Investment Fund was marketed around 2021-2022 as a fully agricultural route to the Portugal Golden Visa: a portfolio of existing vineyards, wine production and cork forestry managed by Insula Capital, the Lisbon SGOIC that also runs the Flex Space Fund. Its pitch combined cork's stable cash flows (Portugal is the world leader in planted cork area and exports) with wine's upside and the licensing moat around new vineyard planting, plus a hospitality layer.

Today the fund has effectively vanished from public view. Insula Capital's website has been rebuilt (insulacapital.pt now redirects to a minimal insula.capital landing page with no fund list), the Nomad Gate webinar page survives only in the Wayback Machine, the blog article profiling the fund is gone, and d7visa's fund table — the seed source, which listed a €150,000 minimum — has been rewritten without it. No subscription status, terms or registry data could be verified, so the fund's status is recorded as unknown; it is plausibly closed or fully wound into the manager's private client base.

Vineyard and forest land ownership would also face indirect-real-estate scrutiny under the post-October 2023 Golden Visa rules. Anyone holding units or considering the strategy should contact Insula Capital directly; nothing in this profile is verifiable beyond the archived marketing material.
