The fund aims to bridge the capital shortfalls that traditional lenders often cannot meet due to regulatory constraints. According to Amitabh Mohanty, MD and CEO of JM Financial Asset Management Ltd., the fund will primarily target established developers in metro cities. The proceeds will be deployed as debt capital to meet land acquisition and approval-related costs.
The early-stage real estate fund plans to achieve a first close of around Rs 500 crore. It has already attracted strong interest from institutional investors, as well as high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and family offices. Mohanty emphasized that the AIF platform will offer specialized pools of capital across various sectors, including credit, real estate, and pre-IPO opportunities.
In addition to the real estate fund, JM Financial has filed applications with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for its maiden pre-IPO fund and a follow-on performing credit fund. The pre-IPO fund will focus on investing in companies with an 18-month-to-IPO horizon, up to the anchor book. This strategic move is expected to provide investors with lucrative returns by capitalizing on the growth potential of pre-IPO companies.
The asset manager’s first performing credit fund is on track to deliver its target returns, with several investments already exited. This success underscores JM Financial’s expertise in managing specialized investment vehicles and its commitment to delivering value to its investors.
JM Financial AMC’s expansion into the early-stage real estate fund and other AIFs highlights the company’s adaptability and forward-thinking approach in the ever-evolving financial landscape. By addressing the unique challenges faced by developers and providing tailored financial solutions, JM Financial aims to play a pivotal role in the growth and development of the Indian real estate sector.
The launch of this fund comes at a crucial time when the real estate market is witnessing a gradual recovery, driven by improved economic conditions and increased investor confidence. JM Financial’s strategic initiatives are expected to catalyze further growth and stability in the sector, benefiting both developers and investors alike.
