Welcome/admit five investors
Of course this is polite - the investors are "welcomed" because of the considerable "montant" they bring in. What they are saying is that five guys with money will join the company as shareholders.

bring in five investors
Meaning, five more.
'admit', 'welcome' and 'host' are all too pretentious in English in this context. No company wants to sound like it thinks it's doing its investors a favour by taking their money.
