Frequently asked questions
What investment strategies does NAFA Capital Advisors run?
NAFA operates four distinct strategies from its Mumbai base. Its private equity practice targets early-stage, growth, and pre-IPO investments in small and medium-sized Indian businesses. A listed-equities arm executes opportunistic public-market investments. The debt capital markets vertical provides credit solutions, and a stressed-loan subsidiary—formed in partnership with Longan—acquires retail stressed loan portfolios from Indian NBFCs and banks. The firm also plans to launch a non-discretionary Portfolio Management Service called NAFA Wealth for retail investors.
What is the relationship between NAFA Capital Advisors and Longan?
NAFA has partnered with Longan to set up an Indian subsidiary that acquires retail stressed-loan portfolios from NBFCs and Indian banks. The exact corporate structure, ownership split, and capital commitment between the two entities have not been publicly disclosed.
