How We’re Different
The EB-5 Visa program was created in 1990 to spur job growth in distressed communities of the U.S. Congress wished to extend to foreign nationals the privilege of living and working permanently in the U.S. if they invested in communities that needed jobs. This is still the purpose of the Program and our purpose too.
We believe private developers who raise capital for their own projects run the risk of looking out for themselves rather than their investors. We are not private developers. Bluegrass International Fund selects EB-5 investments free of conflicts and with a steadfast focus on protecting our investors’ capital.
With so many choices in regional centers, we believe EB-5 investors should consider the four P’s of investing when choosing a regional center. Here are ours:

Performance
To reduce each project’s risk, we require that each project meet the following investment criteria:
- Each project must be fully funded through a bridge loan to allow the project to complete construction independent of our investors capital.
- Each of our borrowers must commit at least 20% of their own equity to a project.
- Our EB-5 investors commitment to the financing is capped at 25%.
- Each project must qualify as a Targeted Employment Area project and be expected to qualify after any proposed changes in EB-5 regulations.
- Each project must have some form of public support or incentive, be it city, county, state or federal.
- Each project must be appropriately “sized” to the EB-5 market that considers EB-5 quotas and other market dynamics.
