JM Financial AMC Expands into Real Estate with New ₹1,000-Crore AIF

JM Financial Asset Management Company is expanding its Alternative Investment Fund platform with the launch of a ₹1,000 crore early-stage real estate fund, targeting financing gaps that have emerged in the sector due to regulatory constraints on traditional lenders, as per PTI report. 

Fund Strategy and Focus 

The newly launched fund is designed to leverage the group’s experience of over a decade in managing real estate credit.  

It seeks to provide debt capital to established developers in metro cities, primarily for land acquisition and approval-related costs, areas where conventional financing has remained limited. 

The fund is expected to have a 1st close of around ₹500 crore, with the remaining capital raised subsequently. According to the company, investor response has been strong, with participation from institutional investors as well as high net worth individuals and family offices. 

“Our objective is to build a comprehensive AIF ecosystem that supports India's next phase of enterprise growth. We are creating strategies that are thematic, real asset-backed and focused on non-traditional opportunities,” Amitabh Mohanty told PTI. 

Platform Expansion and Pipeline 

Mohanty said the AIF platform will offer specialised pools of capital across credit, real estate and pre-IPO opportunities. In addition to the real estate fund, the asset manager has filed applications with SEBIfor its maiden pre-IPO fund and a follow-on performing credit fund. 

The pre-IPO fund will invest in companies with an investment horizon of up to 18 months prior to listing, extending up to the anchor book stage. The company’s first performing credit fund is already progressing in line with its stated investment objectives, with multiple exits completed.
