Gránit Alapkezelő Zrt - a new fund in Hunagry's golden visa program

As of January 22, 2025, the Gránit Alapkezelő Zrt. (Gránit Asset Management) has received approval to manage investment funds eligible under the Hungarian Golden Visa program, further expanding opportunities for foreign investors seeking residency through investment.

Gránit Asset Management Plc., established in 2009, is a privately held company based in Budapest, Hungary. Operating under the legal name Gránit Alapkezelő Zrt., the company specializes in asset management and financial advisory services. With its headquarters located at Kassák Lajos utca 19-25 in Budapest's 13th district, Gránit Asset Management Plc. plays a pivotal role in Hungary’s financial sector.

The company has shown significant growth over the years, reflected in its strong financial performance and expanding client base. Its core activities include fund management, financial consulting, and accounting services, supported by a highly skilled team of 116 employees. Gránit Asset Management is dedicated to delivering reliable and innovative financial solutions tailored to the needs of its clients, ensuring sustainable success and value creation in the dynamic financial market.

The Role of Qualified Market Operators in the Golden Visa Program

Hungary’s Golden Visa program underwent significant reform in late 2024, introducing stricter requirements to ensure investments align with national security and housing priorities. One of the key pathways for obtaining a residence permit under the new framework is investing at least €250,000 in real estate funds managed by operators listed on the qualified market operators’ registry.

The Gránit Alapkezelő Zrt. now joins Sprint Asset Hungary as the second company authorized to issue fund shares for the program. This recognition reflects their adherence to stringent security and transparency standards mandated by the Hungarian government.

Key Features of the Gránit Asset

An investment fund pools the capital of investors, which is then invested and managed by the Fund Manager in assets specified in the fund’s investment policy. Its greatest advantage lies in the cost-efficient investment of assets and a properly diversified portfolio. The goal is to ensure the highest possible return at a given risk level for the unit holders of the fund.

Gránit Fund Manager offers public, open-ended, and indefinite-term investment funds for retail investors. Their product range includes both real estate funds and securities, and they offer investment solutions denominated in Hungarian forints, euros, and dollars to their clients.

The newly approved Gránit Alapkezelő, is structured to meet both investor needs and regulatory requirements. Key highlights include:
