The Movement Of The Investment Migration Industry Along The Lifecycle Curve

This article, published in Citizenship By Investment magazine, provides a succinct overview of the investment migration industry to date, as well as speculating on the direction of investment migration going forward. Taking a ‘lifecycle’ approach, the author places the industry between the ‘growth’ or ‘shakeout’ phase, in which the barriers to entry are low for new competitors, but larger firms are able to outperform their rivals due to their established governmental relationships. With even more countries likely to establish new programs over the coming years, however, this article speculates that consolidation within the industry is increasingly likely.
