About Company
Casper Capital Private Limited
Casper Capital Private Limited is an Indian asset management firm that manages the Casper Investment Trust, a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF). The firm’s flagship offering, the Casper Empower Fund, operates as a structured special situations platform with a target size of ₹1,000 Crores. Its investment philosophy centers on identifying market dislocations, particularly non-performing loans (NPL) and stressed credit opportunities where complex mispricing exists. By leveraging a team with over 60 years of combined experience in investment banking and structured finance, Casper Capital aims to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns through disciplined diligence, long-term capital appreciation, and active monitoring of its portfolio.
Core Philosophy & Principles
- Special Situations Focus: They specialize in identifying opportunities in non-performing loans (NPLs), stressed credit, and negotiated situations where market complexity leads to significant mispricing.
- Risk-Adjusted Returns: Their primary goal is achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns through long-term capital appreciation rather than seeking pure speculative upside.
- Downside-Aware Structuring: A cornerstone of their philosophy is a "documentation-led" approach. This involves rigorous diligence, strong covenants, and collateral-backed structures to protect capital.
- Active Monitoring: They believe in active, structured oversight throughout the entire investment lifecycle to meaningfully influence outcomes and mitigate risks.
- Multi-Route Execution: Their strategy is flexible, allowing for direct investments in portfolio companies or participation through Asset Reconstruction Company (ARC) security receipt structures.
- Process-Led Discipline: Investments are built on a disciplined, process-driven framework that leverages over 60 years of combined team experience in structured finance and investment banking
