Shivalik Investment Fund announces first close of its inaugural fund

Shivalik Investment Fund (SIF), a Category II Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), recently announced the first close of its inaugural fund, securing 50% of the targeted corpus.

As the first AIF of its kind in Gujarat, the fund has attracted strong interest from high-net-worth individuals and family offices, driven by the trust in Shivalik Group, a pioneering real estate developer in Ahmedabad.

“Our successful first closure of the fund demonstrates our commitment to leveraging our financial and development expertise to enhance our presence in Ahmedabad and maximize returns for our investors,” said Chitrak Shah, Founder & Managing Director of Shivalik Group.

According to the firm's statement, the Category II AIF had a targeted corpus of Rs 150 crore, with an option to raise an additional Rs 150 crore under the green shoe option.

Investing in high-growth areas

The firm said the fund is primarily focused on investing in residential, commercial, and plotting projects in Ahmedabad’s high-growth areas.

SIF has a strong deal pipeline of opportunities and is currently in advanced discussions on identified deals.

“This milestone is a testament to our vision of creating a trusted privately pooled investment vehicle for our investors,” said Jigar Shah, Key Investment Team Member of Shivalik Investment Fund.

Executive Director highlights real estate market growth
