Lince Yield Fund, FCR is a 2025-vintage Portuguese alternative investment fund designed for investors seeking predictable income rather than high-volatility equity exposure. Structured as a CMVM-regulated FCR, it applies a private-credit playbook to a concentrated portfolio of established Portuguese SMEs. The fund deploys capital through secured loans, mezzanine instruments, and selective majority equity positions, forming a hybrid structure that generates recurring cash flow while allowing active oversight of the underlying businesses. Unlike traditional venture capital products in the Golden Visa landscape, the Lince Yield Fund aims to function as a “bond proxy”, offering a target 5% annual distribution backed by companies with stable operations and strong financial fundamentals. Its strategy intentionally bypasses early-stage risk and instead focuses on lending to, or partnering with, SMEs capable of servicing debt from day one. Through senior security, collateralization, and board-level control mechanisms, the fund prioritises principal protection and a steady yield rather than explosive returns. The fund’s €20M scale and €1–5M ticket sizes create a concentrated but hands-on portfolio, allowing Lince Capital to closely monitor performance and intervene operationally when necessary. With a 6–8 year term engineered around the Golden Visa timeline, it provides a clear exit window that aligns with residency requirements. Although marketed with flexible redemption features, the assets remain private, illiquid debt positions, meaning investors should view the lock-up as effectively full-term. Backed by the CMVM regulatory regime, independent auditing, and Euronext Securities Porto custody infrastructure, the Lince Yield Fund offers a defensively positioned alternative for investors seeking yield, capital stability, and Golden Visa eligibility in a post–real-estate era.
