International Finance Corporation (IFC), a World Bank Group member, will invest up to INR 220 crore as the anchor investor in HDFC AMC's Structured Credit Fund-I, a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF). The fund has already completed its first close, raising approximately INR 1,290 crore from institutional investors, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNIs), with a target corpus of INR 1,500 crore and a green-shoe option of up to INR 1,000 crore. HDFC AMC itself has committed up to 14% of the fund corpus as sponsor. The fund targets mid-teen returns over 4-6 years and has already deployed INR 380 crore across three deals. The fund will provide alternative debt financing to India's underserved mid-market companies across sectors like logistics, manufacturing, pharma, and e-mobility. HDFC AMC's overall mutual fund AUM stood at Rs 8.73 trillion as of September 30, 2025, serving 14.5 million unique investors.
This high-profile partnership with a World Bank Group entity strengthens HDFC AMC's credibility in the alternative investment space and diversifies its revenue stream beyond traditional mutual funds. The IFC stamp of approval could attract more institutional capital to the fund and to HDFC AMC's AIF offerings overall, potentially boosting AIF AUM growth and fee income — a positive long-term signal for shareholders.
