2040 Ventures manages two of New Zealand's most established investment funds. Both Punakaiki Fund and Climate Venture Capital Fund 2 are approved for the Active Investor Plus visa. Each invests in New Zealand companies with the potential for high growth, one in technology, one in climate.
You can invest in one fund or across both. The two funds work differently, and we are clear about how.
Patient growth capital. An existing, diversified portfolio of revenue-generating New Zealand technology companies. You can see exactly what you own before you invest. It is not a blind pool. Shares trade through regular windows on Catalist.
You commit to a focused climate strategy, run by an experienced team with an independent Climate Impact Committee. Capital is deployed into emissions-reducing companies over the life of the fund.
The visa asks for a total investment of NZD $5 million in the Growth category. Two agencies are involved, and they do different things.
It approves the funds you can invest in, known as Acceptable Managed Funds. Both of our funds are on the register.
In the Growth category, in one or both of our approved funds.
