MEET OUR FUNDS

Making successful crypto fund management accessible to first-time managers

Kyall Walker, the former head of Australia’s top community venture fund, Upside, chose Nimbus Capital to support his latest venture.

After navigating the complexities of fund management on his own, Kyall realised he wanted a partner who could handle the operational side of things, allowing him to focus on what he does best: identifying high-potential investments.

Kyall launched Persistence Capital with $5m. He is on the way to having one of the best long-only hedge funds globally.

At Nimbus, we provide that partnership, allowing first-time managers to stay focused on their investment strategy while we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Procedures and Timeline for the St Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program?

The Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment Program (CIP) offers investors the opportunity to acquire citizenship through one of the approved investment options. The process begins with selecting an investment route, such as making a non-refundable contribution to the National Economic Fund, investing in government-approved real estate, or purchasing government bonds.

Once the investment option is chosen, applicants submit the necessary documents, including personal identification, financial details, and proof of the source of funds, through an authorised agent. After submission, Saint Lucia’s Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU) conducts thorough due diligence, including background checks and international screenings, to ensure compliance with legal and financial standards.

This process typically takes between 2 to 3 months. Once the due diligence is completed, the application is reviewed, and upon approval, the applicant is required to make the investment directly into the relevant government-approved channels.

Following the confirmation of the investment, applicants receive a Certificate of Registration, officially granting them Saint Lucia citizenship. The Saint Lucia passport is then issued shortly thereafter.

The entire process from initial consultation to receiving the passport generally takes around 3 to 4 months, with 1 to 2 weeks for document submission, 2 to 3 months for due diligence and review, 1 month for final approval and investment, and 2 weeks for passport issuance.

Can I obtain citizenship in St Lucia while retaining my current passport?

Yes, you can obtain a St. Lucia passport while retaining your current citizenship, as St Lucia legally recognizes dual citizenship.
‍
However, keep in mind that not all countries permit dual citizenship, and your country of current citizenship may not allow you to acquire citizenship elsewhere. If your country does not allow it, the only way to hold multiple passports would be to renounce your existing citizenship.

Legal Basis for St Lucia Citizenship by Investment:

The legal foundation for the Saint Lucia Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Program is established under the Citizenship by Investment Act, 2015. This Act provides the legal framework for the implementation, regulation, and operation of the CBI program, enabling qualified investors and their families to obtain Saint Lucia citizenship through a range of investment options.

The Citizenship by Investment Unit (CIU), created under the Act, is responsible for processing applications, conducting due diligence, and ensuring that all investments align with the legal and financial standards set by the government. The CIU also ensures compliance with international anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) regulations.
