Fund Overview
Kotak Special Situations Fund invests strategically in businesses with a focus on all industries. Using a mix of suitable instruments, the Fund invests with the primary goal of earning long-term capital appreciation and returns in the form of interest, dividends, capital gains, or shares of profits.
To capitalise on the unusual conditions and stressed assets potential in India, we invest across industries. In addition to real estate, healthcare, infrastructure, electricity, consumer goods, industrials, information technology, and financial services, we also have experience in a wide range of other industries. Rising income levels, higher consumption, and favourable demographics in India will boost all of these industries. Investors might anticipate significant returns from distressed ventures given these underlying factors and the appealing entry prices.
Investment Strategy
The investment goal of the Fund is to achieve target returns by primarily investing in exceptional circumstance or distressed opportunities in India. Debt, equity, and mezzanine instruments are frequently used in investments. These are the main objectives of our investing strategies:
Special Situations: Due to legal limits on banks and non-banking financial organisations, there may be certain unique opportunities in specific exceptional situations. This will comprise scenarios including promoter financing, group restructuring, and investor take-out finance.
Asset Acquisitions: a small firm with continuous operations but significant assets that may be sold to make money. In these situations, we consider pure asset plays, in which we invest in companies that have assets like real estate, hotels, or other types of commercial assets. Returns are mostly produced by selling underlying assets to one or more parties over time.
Stressed Assets: has a good and steady outlook for company and professional management. Nonetheless, these companies can be experiencing financial strain due to a number of temporary or external factors. In these situations, we collaborate with current promoters by providing the necessary financial assistance.
IBC Opportunities: Where a change or augmentation of management is required to improve performance for regulatory reasons and where company prospects are favourable and steady. In these situations, we work in partnership with an operational or strategic partner to buy and restructure the company.
