Abu Dhabi Wealth Fund Starts Distressed Assets Fund in India
(Bloomberg) -- Abu Dhabi Investment Authority set up a distressed assets fund in India, anchoring it with a $500 million commitment.
The sovereign wealth fund is partnering with Kotak Investment Advisors Ltd. for the Kotak Special Situations Fund, which will target non-performing loan opportunities in the South Asian nation.
The fund will target both pre-stress and distressed opportunities, with a key focus on providing financial support to pre-stress businesses to prevent them from entering insolvency, United Arab Emirates' state-run WAM news agency reported.
