What Arton Capital does

Arton Capital, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Montreal, is a privately held global financial advisory firm specializing in investment migration programs that confer residence or citizenship in exchange for qualifying investments. The firm serves high-net-worth individuals and families, governments seeking to design or refine such programs, and a downstream Certified Partner network of migration consultants, wealth managers, and family offices. Arton operates as an authorized marketing agent and financial intermediary for more than a dozen government programs spanning the Caribbean (Antigua & Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis), Europe (Cyprus, Montenegro, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Spain, Latvia), North America (Quebec, USA EB-5), and emerging markets (Argentina, Botswana).

The firm's core technology consists of proprietary ranking and comparison systems: the Passport Index, covering 199 travel destinations globally and cited by governments and international media as the industry benchmark for passport power, and the Arton Index, which scores investment migration programs across cost, speed, mobility, quality of life, and simplicity. These feed a suite of investor-facing tools (Program Check, Program Cost, Program Map, Program Match) plus a custom-built Certified Partner software platform. Arton monetizes through advisory fees on facilitated applications, government advisory engagements for program design and policy structuring, and partner enablement services. Subsidiary Arton Investments, regulated by IIROC and a member of CIPF, is one of only 22 authorized brokers for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program and held an estimated 40% market share following the April 2026 acquisition of AURAY Capital Canada's client portfolio of approximately 20,000 historic relationships.

The company is led by founder and CEO Armand Arton, supported by a senior team covering sales, operations, finance, marketing, and product. Arton maintains six offices (Montreal, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, London, Istanbul), publishes the Global Citizen Magazine, and hosts the Global Citizen Forum conference. Its distribution is exclusively indirect through authorized agents and Certified Partners, with 97% partner retention reported across the network.
