CNO Future Fund Relaunches as Vanuatu’s Gold-Standard CIIP Option
The CNO Future Fund has formally relaunched under Vanuatu’supdated Citizenship by Investment regulatory structure, solidifying itsposition as the premier choice within the Capital InvestmentImmigration Plan (CIIP). The CNO Future Fund stands among the select fully compliant entities validated by government authorities after a comprehensive assessment of all CIIP agents.
The regulatory modifications, currently in force, mandate a minimum investment of USD $165,000 for a primary applicant, including the spouse and two dependents, encompassing government due diligence charges. This comprises a USD $60,000 direct government contribution and a USD $50,000 five-year redeemable commitment to a designated, government-endorsed fund.
Furthermore, all authorized agents are now obligated to provide quarterly and annual investment documentation, financial records, and employment statistics under strengthened compliance and transparency requirements.
Daniel Agius, the co-founder of the CNO Future Fund, embraced there launch, highlighting the fund’s consistency with governmental reforms and sustainable development objectives.
“The CNO Future Fund was specifically designed to produce transparent,meaningful investment results,” stated Agius. “This relaunch confirms ourframework and strengthens investor trust in both the fund and the initiative.”
During its initial operational year, the CNO Future Fund secured USD$6.25 million, deployed through strategic placements, and realized 32.62% Net-Asset Value (NAV) expansion, despite a major earthquake in December 2024 that impacted significant portions of Port Vila’s infrastructure. Seventy percent of the Fund’s capabilities were operational by Q1 2025, with comprehensive insurance coverage for all damages and restoration efforts in progress.
Notable accomplishments include:
“We take pride in our recognition for both compliance excellence and tangible results,” Agius noted. “Our NAV returns and infrastructure developments are actively supporting Vanuatu’s path toward energy self-sufficiency and rural advancement.”
The Fund has additionally promoted essential national objectives,including backing Vanuatu’s 2030 target of achieving 100% renewable power generation. Active discussions with UNELCO and international collaborators are examining coconut oil biofuel applications for electrical grid and marine purposes. Preparations are advancing to deploy 2x1MW biofuel-driven generators, further cementingVanuatu’s renewable energy position.
The Fund’s forthcoming value-enhancement investment priorities encompass converting aging coconut estates into premium timberofferings, broadening supply network operations to include kava and cocoa industries, creating land developments featuring certified processing facilities to assist local populations and optimize agricultural exports, plus integrated end-use distribution within the Agri-Tourism Sector.
