Building on the success of Mercan Private Equity Fund I, the largest closed end private equity fund for golden visa in Portugal, the Group has introduced the Mercan Private Equity Fund II to expand its investment offering.

Fund II leverages Mercan’s partnerships with IHG, Marriott, and Wyndham to scale institutional-grade hospitality projects that blend operating hotels with development assets, balancing near-term income and long-term value creation. At launch, the fund includes three 4-star assets: Hotel Indigo Albufeira by IHG (operating), Quinta da Praia Residence Inn by Marriott in the Algarve (under development), and Corfu Acharavi Hotel Collection by Wyndham in Greece (operating).

Registered by CMVM and managed by Finprop Capital SGOIC, S.A., the fund is already open for subscription and is expected to attract around 240 investors. Structured as a venture capital fund, it fully complies with Portugal’s residency-by-investment regulations, offering investors a transparent and secure pathway to Portuguese residency.

Key terms include a 2% fixed annual return, a guaranteed buyback from year six through year twelve, and lifestyle benefits such as complimentary hotel stays across Mercan’s portfolio.

Jerry Morgan, CEO of Mercan Group, said the fund “strengthens Mercan’s commitment to capital security, long-term value, and hospitality excellence,” while Jordi Vilanova, President of Mercan Properties, emphasized its role as a “key driver of tourism development” in both Portugal and Greece.

With over 35 years of experience and a presence in more than 30 countries, Mercan currently operates 16 branded hotels in Portugal and Greece, within a total portfolio of 34 hospitality projects.
