Blackstone-backed ASK Alternates ne apne naye private credit fund ke liye **₹500 crore** juta liye hain. Inka target total **₹2,500 crore** tak jaane ka hai, jisme ye established companies ko loan denge.
Paisa kahan se aa raha hai?
Blackstone ki backing wali ASK Asset & Wealth Management group ki arm, ASK Alternates, ne sirf 5 mahine mein ₹500 crore se zyada fund raise kar liya hai. Indian family offices aur HNIs ab stock market se hatkar private credit mein interest dikha rahe hain.
Kya hai fund ka plan?
Fund ka total target corpus ₹2,500 crore hai, jisme ₹1,000 crore base hai aur ₹1,500 crore ka greenshoe option hai. Ye fund equity ki tarah volatile nahi hai; ye profitable companies ko senior secured loans deta hai. Matlab agar kuch gadbad hui, toh inka paisa pehle wapas milne ke chances hote hain.
Kahan invest karenge aur kahan nahi?
Risk kam rakhne ke liye ye real estate, distressed debt, ya venture debt se door rahenge. Inka focus infrastructure, healthcare, manufacturing, aur renewable energy sector par hai. Ye 14% se 16% tak ka Gross IRR target kar rahe hain.
Risk factor ko ignore mat karna
Private credit mein sabse bada risk 'Credit Risk' hota hai—yani agar company loan wapas na kar paayi toh? Saath hi, agar infrastructure ya manufacturing sector mein slowdown aaya, toh fund ki performance par impact pad sakta hai. Inka pehla fund ₹569 crore ka tha jo poora deploy ho chuka hai, aur Blackstone jaisi badi institution ka naam hona ek bharose wala sign zaroor hai.
