Italian Shares

Ariete Capital offers a distinctive investment pathway that combines European residency with ownership in some of Italy’s most iconic companies.

Through a minimum investment of €500,000, investors acquire Class B Units in a KPMG-audited Italian entity that allocates capital across a curated portfolio of market leaders including Ferrari, Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli, Campari, and Technogym.

The strategy is deliberately structured:

  • 70% in Italian public equities
  • 20% in alternatives
  • 10% in cash equivalents
     

This diversified allocation targets a net IRR of 9%, balancing capital preservation with growth.

Ariete provides both a legitimate pathway to Italian residency and meaningful exposure to Italy’s luxury, lifestyle, and industrial champions, making it an ideal solution for investors seeking both European access and long-term capital growth rooted in Italian excellence.

Do you qualify?

Government Bonds

Ariete Capital enables applicants to obtain a Golden Visa through a €2,000,000 investment in Italian government bonds, one of the safest and most conservative options available.

The capital is allocated to BTPs or equivalent long-term instruments issued by the Italian Republic, with a maturity of at least 2 years, and held throughout the duration of the residence permit.

This path offers:

  • State-backed security, with minimal risk of capital loss

  • Passive income via interest payments

  • A clear, predictable structure requiring no active management

It’s particularly suited for:

  • Investors with low risk tolerance

  • Individuals focused on capital preservation

  • Applicants seeking the most institutionally stable route

While returns are modest, this route ensures legal residency through a structure aligned with sovereign financial instruments and minimal exposure to market volatility.

Philanthropic Donation

Ariete Capital provides access to a Golden Visa-eligible path through a €1,000,000 philanthropic donation to Italian public-interest initiatives, in line with national priorities.

These contributions are made to officially recognized organizations operating in sectors such as education, culture, scientific research, and immigration support — initiatives that enrich Italy’s long-term development and social impact.

While this investment path does not provide financial return, it offers the most streamlined, low-effort route to residency, without the complexity of managing assets or holding capital at risk.

This route is ideal for:

  • High-net-worth individuals looking to combine mobility and legacy

  • Families or trusts with charitable mandates

  • Applicants who value simplicity and social contribution over financial gain

This is a donation-based investment, best suited for those seeking to align their residency goals with long-term values and public good.
