InCred Capital
InCred Capital, the advisory and asset management services arm of the InCred Group, has raised capital in a top-up equity round, it said on Friday.
Mumbai-based InCred Capital has secured this funding from family offices in India, London Singapore, and Dubai, the firm said in a statement. However, it did not disclose the identities of these investors or the amount it has raised.
This fundraise comes two months after InCred Asset Management hired ICICI Prudential AMC’s Mrinal Singh as its chief investment and chief executive officer.
InCred Capital began its wealth management operations a year ago, and says it has already achieved Rs 5,000 crore in assets under management. It also operates an investment banking and debt capital markets division.
The Bhupinder Singh-led group also operated InCred Finance, its retail and small business-focussed non-banking arm.
