The fund will raise capital via private placement to high net-worth individuals, ultra-HNIs, family offices, and institutional investors. The fund will focus on performing businesses and provide flexible capital for growth financing, acquisitions, refinancing, and working capital. Non-executive director Manish Shah said the move is a natural extension of the group's financial services presence, which already includes lending and wealth management.
