How we manage risk

Selection and care: specialist judgement, veterinary input and ongoing monitoring.

Portfolio scale: exposure across multiple horses reduces reliance on a single outcome.

Insurance: can cover defined animal losses, subject to policy terms, limits and exclusions.

Capital, liquidity and exit

Review asset exposure, cost controls, reporting and sale arrangements with the Pegasus team. Portfolio scale and insurance help manage defined risks; they do not guarantee capital, returns or the timing of cash distributions.

General information only, not an offer or financial, legal, tax or immigration advice. AIP acceptability is not government endorsement or a guarantee of residence or investment performance.

Your immigration questions

Why consider Pegasus for your AIP pathway?

Pegasus Bloodstock LP offers an acceptable direct investment with specialist management, a defined term and direct access to the team. Discuss how these fit your Growth or Balanced application with your immigration adviser.

​

How much time must I spend in New Zealand?

Growth requires at least 21 days over 36 months as a resident visa holder. Balanced requires at least 105 days over 60 months, with reductions available for additional qualifying investment.

​

How does Pegasus’s term fit the visa timeframe?

Pegasus’s term is the remainder of the financial year of entry plus 36 months—about three to four years. Your adviser should align this with Growth’s minimum 36-month investment period.

​

Can my immigration adviser work with Pegasus?

Yes. We welcome your adviser and provide partnership information for their assessment. Immigration New Zealand determines visa eligibility; acceptable-investment status does not guarantee residence.
