Mumbai, 21st October 2026: Ascertis Credit, a leading India and South East Asia-focused performing private credit platform, today announced a significant fund-raising milestone.
Ascertis Credit Fund IV has crossed US$ 700 million of commitments, underscoring continued investor confidence in the firm’s long-standing performing credit strategy and the growing opportunity across India and Asia. The latest close builds on Fund IV’s significant first close announced earlier, which attracted a broad base of institutional investors, family offices and other long-term capital providers across global and Indian markets.
The latest close includes commitments from existing LPs alongside commitments from new global and Indian investors, including insurance companies, development financial institutions and family offices. Notably, the fund has seen substantial re-up commitments from existing investors as well as several new institutions investing with the platform for the first time.
The fundraising momentum underscores growing investor confidence in Ascertis Credit's long-standing investment strategy, its proven track record, and differentiated access to attractive performing credit opportunities across India and Southeast Asia.
The strong reception comes amid increasing institutional interest in performing private credit strategies as investors seek resilient income-generating investments away from market volatility with attractive risk-adjusted returns. Across Asia, and particularly in India, continued economic growth and increasing financing requirements of established businesses have created a compelling environment for private credit providers with long standing strong on ground presence and disciplined underwriting frameworks.
Cumulatively, Ascertis Credit has built a significant track record of consistent and attractive returns generated from secured lending over several market cycles over the last decade across its five funds.
Kanchan Jain, Head of Ascertis Credit Group, said “Private credit in Asia is increasingly filling a significant funding gap in the credit markets. As businesses across the region continue to grow and evolve, there is a clear need for flexible and intelligent capital solutions that go beyond traditional lending models. We continue to see strong interest from global investors who recognise the depth of the opportunity in India and Asia, and the potential for performing credit to deliver differentiated, risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.”
Sandeep Adukia, Senior Managing Partner of Ascertis Credit, said “We are grateful for the continued trust and confidence placed in us by both our long-standing investors and those joining the platform for the first time. The strong support for Fund IV reflects the quality of our team, the strength of our investment platform, and our ability to consistently identify attractive risk-adjusted opportunities in markets where we believe demand for private credit continues to grow.”
