JM Financial Asset Management launches maiden Rs 1,500 Cr pre-IPO AIF

JM Financial Asset Management has announced the launch of its first pre-IPO Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), “The Pre-IPO Fund,” under Category II. Approval for the fund was recently granted by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), marking a strategic expansion of the firm’s AIF division into the fast-growing pre-IPO investment space.

The launch of the Pre-IPO Fund aims to build a comprehensive AIF ecosystem to support India’s next wave of enterprise growth. The platform is structured to provide specialised capital solutions across credit, real estate, and pre-IPO opportunities.

The Pre-IPO Fund will focus on investing in companies expected to list within 18 months. Pre-IPO investments have emerged as an important avenue for generating superior risk-adjusted returns, particularly as India’s startup and private markets continue to mature.

The fund will be managed by Jaisinh Suchak, Managing Director – Alternative Investment Funds at JM Financial Asset Management, who brings over 23 years of experience in financial services and more than a decade of buy-side expertise.
