Multiples Alternate Asset Management has closed a $430 million continuation fund to deepen its commitment in three portfolio companies - Vastu Housing Finance, Quantiphi, and APAC Financial Services.
The fund structure allows Multiples to extend ownership in high-performing assets and offer liquidity to old investors. It was oversubscribed and backed by global institutional investors like HarbourVest Partners and TPG NewQuest.
Multiples has a thesis-led investment approach and has previously backed startups like Delhivery and Acko. The continuation fund reflects the trend of Indian private equity firms utilizing such vehicles to hold high-growth assets.
Vastu, Quantiphi, and APAC have scaled significantly since Multiples' initial investments. The continuation fund also includes capital for follow-on investments in these companies.
