What our investors say

“I wanted a safe way to get residency, but also something that made financial sense. Explorer was the only fund that gave me access alongside institutions—and real returns.”

“The only fund I found that lets Golden Visa investors co-invest with large institutions. That gave me all the confidence I needed to go ahead.”

“I was impressed by how transparent and available the Explorer team was. I always knew where my investment stood—and how it was performing.”
