|August 22, 2023
Waterfield Advisors recently floated its second fund of funds (FoF) with an aim to grow its assets under management for Fof operations by nearly five times.
It plans to raise about ₹2,000 crore ($240 million) for the latest vehicle and is inching towards the first close, expected by October at ₹1500-1,000 crore. This follows its first fund, which was oversubscribed, securing ₹540 crore from high-net-worth individuals and family offices.
The Mumbai-based wealth manager is also looking to onboard foreign capital via a feeder vehicle based in Gujarat's Gift City, as well as institutional firms as limited partners (LPS), said Siddharth Jhunjhunwala, executive director and head of the FoF.
