Green Portfolio, a portfolio management service provider, has announced the launch of its Category III Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) with a target of Rs 300 crore and claims to have secured over 50% of its commitments from existing and potential investors. Green Portfolio’s entry into India’s AIF industry aligns with this trend, offering investors a structured approach to accessing both listed and unlisted markets. By leveraging the flexibility of a Category III AIF, it seeks to provide its investors with diversified, high-growth opportunities in India’s dynamic financial markets. The firm aims to identify promising opportunities early on, allowing it to offer clients unique investment avenues alongside its PMS offerings. It intends to scale AIF assets to Rs 1,000 crore over the next few years while remaining committed to delivering reliable and sustainable returns. Green Portfolio states that the fund provides flexibility to invest in promising businesses through various channels, including preferential allotments, private placements, and secondary opportunities. It aspires to grow its AIF offerings while ensuring that its careful approach to risk leads to steady, sustainable growth for investors. The fund will allocate 70–80% of its capital to listed equities, with a focus on small-, mid-, and micro-cap stocks, while 20–30% will be invested in pre-IPO and private market opportunities. It will also consider preferential allotments, private placements, secondary opportunities, and investments in SME companies. The fund is sector-agnostic and aims to capitalize on India’s growth by identifying value- and growth-driven investments.
