Where and Why So Many Americans Are Exploring Alternative Residence & Citizenship by Investment

Webinar Description

In recent years, a growing number of Americans have shown increased interest in securing alternative residence or citizenship as a strategic means to manage risk, unlock global opportunities, and safeguard their wealth and legacy. We are pleased to welcome Judi Galst, Managing Director of Private Clients at Henley & Partners, for an informative webinar exploring this rising trend and the options available to U.S. individuals and families. During the session, Judi will:

Explain the concept of investment migration and why it’s gaining traction
Highlight the most sought-after programs, including the Portugal Golden Visa, other European residence options, New Zealand permanent residence, and Caribbean citizenship
Discuss alternative pathways such as citizenship by ancestry
Answer your questions on this timely and increasingly relevant topic

Whether you're advising clients or considering your own global strategy, this session will provide valuable insights into the motivations, mechanisms, and merits of investment migration.
