Karani Asset Management
Karani Asset Management was founded in 2010 by Vikram Karani, who serves as President and Chief Investment Officer. The firm operates as a registered investment advisor, managing capital for high-net-worth families and institutions. It is structured as a multi-strategy platform rather than a single-family office. The firm targets private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge fund strategies. Karani focuses on the lower-middle market, sourcing direct investments and co-investments. Geographic focus includes North America, with selective exposure to Europe. The firm pursues originated deals where it can bring operational or structuring expertise. Karani is a lean organization, with a small team of investment professionals. The firm has not publicly disclosed AUM or deployment numbers. There is no public record of philanthropic vehicles or operating companies tied directly to the firm. Karani’s structural differentiator is its multi-strategy, flexible mandate. The firm can move across private credit, real estate, and infrastructure without being locked into a single asset class or fund structure. This allows Karani to act as a nimble capital partner for smaller transactions where larger institutions often cannot deploy.
