Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the historical 14.3% Gross IRR tell an investor about the fund’s yield trajectory? +

The 14.3% gross Internal Rate of Return (IRR) demonstrates the fund's capacity to successfully extract high-double-digit yields from private corporate debt markets. It indicates that the premium charged to corporate borrowers for flexible, structured financing translates directly into strong capital compounding for the fund's investors.

2. How does a 0% default and loss rate validate the fund's underwriting standards? +

A 0% default and capital loss rate across 15+ corporate investments proves the strict efficiency of the fund’s risk management and collateral evaluation framework. It shows that despite operating in the higher-yield private credit space, the fund successfully filters out weak balance sheets and secures watertight asset coverage.

3. What does the close-ended 4-to-5-year tenure imply for an investor's liquidity? +

The fixed 48-to-60-month duration means capital is structurally locked to match the natural amortization and repayment schedules of corporate loans. This design completely eliminates sudden redemption asset-liability mismatches, allowing the fund manager to hold private debt positions securely until final realization.

4. How does the 100% senior secured status protect capital during a corporate stress event? +

Holding 100% senior secured status ensures that the fund maintains first charge and absolute legal claim over the borrower's tangible assets and cash flows. In a corporate stress or liquidation event, the fund gets paid out before any unsecured creditors or equity holders, maximizing the probability of full principal recovery.

5. Why is the regulatory entry ticket fixed at a baseline of ₹1 Crore? +

SEBI mandates a minimum ₹1 Crore threshold to restrict private capital pools to institutions and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. This regulatory framework ensures that participants possess the financial capacity to navigate private market illiquidity and understand the unique risk-reward dynamics of structured corporate credit.
