360 ONE has appointed Nitin Goel, the national head of the Special Situations Group at Piramal Capital & Housing Finance, to lead the real estate vertical. Goel joined 360 ONE this month, bringing with him extensive experience in the real estate sector. Additionally, the firm has brought on Khushru Jijina, a former advisor with the Ajay Piramal Group, to advise on the firm’s overall real assets strategy.
However, 360 ONE already has an existing real estate fund, and the company is now looking to expand its portfolio with this new initiative. Amar Merani, the chief investment officer of Real Assets at 360 ONE, recently resigned and is planning to establish his own venture.
When contacted, a spokesperson for the firm stated, “Regarding future fund launches, we would prefer not to comment at this time. As for new appointments, whether as employees or advisors, we are continuously working to strengthen our teams across various businesses. However, we do not wish to comment on individual appointments.” Jijina and Goel did not respond to requests for comment.
Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) have gained significant traction in the real estate sector as Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) and banks are restricted from lending for land purchases and related purposes. AIFs offer greater flexibility in this context, making them an attractive option for investors. Several firms, including Motilal Oswal, Kotak, and ASK, have already established AIFs in the real estate sector.
360 ONE Asset, formerly known as IIFL Wealth & Asset Management, currently manages around S$63 billion in assets. Last year, the company completed the acquisition of a controlling stake in Mumbai Angels, a prominent angel investment network. Along with this acquisition, Mumbai Angels announced the launch of two new funds a Rs 1,000 crore angel fund and a Rs 300 crore venture capital fund. These funds are expected to invest in around 500 startups over the next three to four years.
Recently, 360 ONE Asset launched its secondaries fund, ‘Special Opportunities Fund-12’, with a target corpus of Rs 4,000 crore. This fund aims to invest in late-stage startups and is touted as India’s first alternative investment fund (AIF) dedicated to the private equity secondary market.
