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.
