Argentina’s CIP A “Game-Changer”: 10 On The Weekend with Dan Brotman

Argentina is poised to become the latest country to launch a citizenship‑by‑investment (CBI) program, a development that industry professionals say could reshape the investment‑migration market. Dan Brotman, Vice President of Business Development at Apex Capital Partners, explains why the potential Argentine program matters, outlines his strategic priorities for the sector, and shares his personal path into investment migration.

Professional focus

• Role: Vice President, Business Development, Apex Capital Partners – a firm that advises clients on investment‑migration opportunities.
• Primary objectives for 2024
  1. Communicate upcoming developments that could affect Caribbean CBI programs.
  2. Support the launch of Argentina’s anticipated CBI program and promote it to the U.S. market.
  3. Build relationships with the Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities, which he identifies as underserved in the investment‑migration space.

Main concern

Brotman’s biggest worry is that Argentina’s CBI program may never materialize. He notes that the industry is currently experiencing a shortage of new citizenship‑by‑investment offerings, and the Argentine initiative could be a “game‑changer” if it proceeds.

Background in investment migration

• Education: Master’s in International Migration and Public Policy, London School of Economics (LSE).
• Academic influence: Studied under Professor Kristin Surak, a leading scholar on investment migration.
• Entry into the field: While completing his dissertation in Canada, he was introduced to the CEO of an investment‑migration company, leading to his first professional role.

Early career milestone

Brotman cites closing his first client for Apex Capital Partners during his second week on the job as his proudest early achievement.

Industry trend that surprised him

The most unexpected development in the past year has been the potential introduction of a citizenship‑by‑investment program in Argentina. He believes that, if launched, it would address the current scarcity of new CBI options and could significantly impact the market’s dynamics.

Outlook

Looking ahead five years, Brotman aims to become a regularly quoted thought leader in industry publications, reinforcing his influence on investment‑migration policy and practice.
