AUCKLAND, New Zealand--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Greener Pastures New Zealand, the country's first integrated residency-by-investment and lifestyle advisory firm, today announced the launch of the Greener Pastures Kiwifruit Fund. This innovative fund enables individuals and families seeking New Zealand permanent residency through the Active Investor Plus visa - often referred to as New Zealand's "Golden Visa" - to meet investment requirements by participating in one of the nation's leading industries. The Fund will invest exclusively in the New Zealand kiwifruit sector, including ownership of productive land assets such as kiwifruit orchards and shares in Zespri, the world's largest exporter and marketer of kiwifruit.

Launched earlier this year, Greener Pastures New Zealand provides comprehensive pathways to residency for high-net-worth individuals and families via the Active Investor Plus visa program. As demand for New Zealand's investment-based visa surges amid global interest in secure, high-quality lifestyles, Greener Pastures stands out as the only firm of its kind offering a full suite of boutique services. These include qualifying investments, visa facilitation, and personalized lifestyle planning - encompassing school placements, property sourcing, and community integration.

"We're very proud to unveil the Greener Pastures Kiwifruit Fund," said Dominic Jones, Managing Director of Greener Pastures New Zealand. "It gives our clients the ability to meet the investment requirements of the Active Investor Plus visa through investing in one of New Zealand's most successful industries. This is a sector that has delivered enormous value to its stakeholders for many years, and it does so by providing a leading product to the world. Kiwifruit is an excellent health product for consumers, it is environmentally friendly, and investment in the sector is great for our country, New Zealand. The industry has been one of New Zealand's success stories over a long period of time, and the outlook for this sector is exciting."

Greener Pastures New Zealand's institutional knowledge of the agricultural sector stems from deep financial expertise in the country's investment markets, combined with personal and familial ties to farming, agriculture, and the kiwifruit industry. Before building a career in banking and finance in London and founding Origin Capital Partners - an established funds management firm and parent company of Greener Pastures New Zealand - Jones grew up in rural New Zealand with multi-generational family roots in the kiwifruit and dairy industries. He views New Zealand's agricultural heritage as central to the nation's identity and prosperity. Board members of Greener Pastures New Zealand and Origin Capital Partners hold significant personal investments and governance roles in the kiwifruit industry, spanning many years.

The Greener Pastures Kiwifruit Fund will primarily comprise highly productive New Zealand land in the form of kiwifruit orchards. The fund will acquire existing orchards or develop new ones from bare land, offering investors a unique opportunity to satisfy the visa’s investment criteria through ownership of valuable land assets. The New Zealand kiwifruit industry boasts a strong track record of value creation, with total returns from kiwifruit land consistently outperforming other agricultural sectors due to its enduring structural advantages.

This marks the third fund raised and managed by Greener Pastures New Zealand and Origin Capital Partners in the kiwifruit sector. The first two funds collectively rank among New Zealand's largest kiwifruit entities, managing over NZD 225 million in assets.

The Greener Pastures Kiwifruit Fund is the second investment product from Greener Pastures New Zealand designed to meet Active Investor Plus visa requirements. The firm also offers the Greener Pastures Diversified Fund, established specifically for the visa, which provides a lower-risk qualifying investment in private equity and private credit markets.
