Does anyone in finance actually pay attention to the investment migration space?

Know this might sound like a weird niche, but I’m curious how people in finance see the investment migration industry.

We run a small firm in what’s called the investment migration industry — basically helping founders and investors get second residencies or citizenships through investment in countries like UAE, Greece, Caribbean. It sits somewhere between private wealth, tax structuring, and global mobility.

From inside the space, it looks like it’s growing fast — geopolitical risk, remote work, capital flight, all of that. But from the outside, it still feels like something most finance people don’t take seriously (maybe fair).

Question to anyone in PE, family office, or wealth management:

  • Do you see this space as a legitimate service vertical?
  • Or is it still viewed as “gray market” territory with no institutional moat?

Genuinely interested in how this looks from a finance lens — we rarely hear candid takes from outside the niche. Asking partly out of curiosity and partly because we’re evaluating where our small firm fits if the space starts consolidating and we sell.

Appreciate any thoughts.
