Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company (AMC) plans to launch its first credit Alternative Investment Fund (AIF) sometime between January and March 2025, as stated by Deepak Agrawal, the Chief Investment Officer of fixed income at the firm.

Agrawal highlighted the improved financial condition of many companies in recent years, which has made this investment option more attractive. He also mentioned the abundance of appealing opportunities in the credit and structured finance sectors.

Agrawal recommended that investors take advantage of this period to secure their investments in well-performing credit AIFs. For debt investors seeking optimal post-tax returns, this new fund could be one of the most compelling options in the fixed-income segment.
