AMC: Vivriti AIF (click link for detailed AMC review)

Vivriti AMC has scaled it’s fund business to over 4000 cr of commitements, and has successfully raised 2 vintages of funds (with the first vintage completely divested as well). A combination of a strong team, focus on the performing credit space (relatively lower risk-reward than other high-yield AIFs) and strong pedigree of the group in the debt space (primarily linked to the CredAvenue platform), makes this an attractive AMC in the Debt AIF space.
