The Portugal Investment Forum (PIF) is a new live event concept from the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK.It is designed to showcase some of Portugal’s best investment options to the UK market, and to connect UK-based investors with Portuguese investment funds.

The PIF was created by the Chamber in response to an increasing number of requests from Portuguese private equity funds wishing to showcase their investment strategies to a discerning UK audience. Their target audiences include family offices, investment funds, placement agents, tax and wealth managers and independent financial advisors.

The PIF is closely linked to the Chamber’s well-known ‘Moving To Portugal’ Shows and Seminars, which introduce UK buyers to the wide variety of Portugal’s properties for sale and re-sale, plus all the other relocation advice that potential ‘movers’ need.

The Chamber plans to introduce the first edition of its new Portugal Investment Forum straight after the ‘Moving To Portugal’ Show and Seminars in London in March 2024 – it will be a half-day event starting after lunch and ending with a networking cocktail hour to help build connections.
