Dubai-based NAV Capital launches its first India-focused AIF Fund, aiming to raise Rs 500 crore for pre-IPO investments in high-growth sectors and SMEs. The fund will be sector-agnostic, focusing on companies in banking, consumer goods, chemicals, technology, and infrastructure.
New Delhi, Jan 29 (PTI) Dubai-based wealth management advisory firm NAV Capital on Wednesday announced the launch of its first India-focussed close-ended AIF Fund (Category 2) and plans to raise Rs 500 crore in the first round.
NAV Capital is a category 3A entity regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).
The new fund will primarily look for investment opportunities in the pre-IPO stage of companies in the high-growth sectors and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with high-growth potential prospects.
"NAV Capital plans to raise Rs 500 crore in the first round, which will be deployed over 18 months. Of the total corpus, the fund plans to allocate a minimum of 51 per cent capital in unlisted companies and up to 49 per cent in the listed space," it said in a statement.
