SSFs Ride Demand for High-Yielding Distressed Assets
Financial Express Mumbai
|July 25, 2025
SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUNDS (SSFs), which buy stressed assets and capitalize on turnaround situations and special market events, are the flavour of the season, with several launches in recent months.
These include funds from Motilal Oswal, InCred, and Resurgent India.
SSFs are a sub-category of Category I Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs) regulated by Sebi.
"We aim to systematically acquire, revive, and scale assets that hold potential but face temporary financial or operational distress. Our approach is strategic and patient," said Jyoti Prakash Gadia, managing director at Resurgent India, which is raising ₹500 crore in SSF.
Earlier, InCred launched an SSF with a target of ₹1,000 crore and an option of another ₹500 crore. Motilal Oswal Special Opportunities Fund opens on 25 July 2025.
