Summary
360 ONE Asset Management is preparing to launch its sixth private credit fund with a target of up to $500 million, according to Bloomberg reporting on people familiar with the firm's plans. The fund could launch as early as June 2026 and is positioned to attract capital from a diverse investor base comprising domestic high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors from overseas markets.
The fundraising initiative underscores continued investor appetite for private debt opportunities in India, a market that has proven comparatively insulated from headwinds affecting the global private credit sector. While the broader private credit market has shown signs of cooling amid concerns over loan quality and concentrated exposure to software companies vulnerable to artificial intelligence disruption, India's private credit ecosystem has maintained relative resilience and strength.
The new fund will target mid-market companies and special situations transactions, with a particular focus on acquisition financing, refinancing opportunities, and secondary stake purchases from existing shareholders. This strategy aligns with 360 ONE's established positioning in India's alternative credit market and reflects broader institutional demand for structured financing solutions outside traditional banking channels.
360 ONE's track record demonstrates sustained growth in the alternatives space. The firm closed its fifth private credit vehicle at approximately $400 million in March 2026, and its broader alternatives platform—encompassing private credit, private equity, and real estate strategies—expanded 23% year-on-year to reach INR 5.8 trillion ($60 billion) by the end of fiscal year 2026. Recent market activity supports the demand thesis, with competitors including Lighthouse Canton launching a fund targeting INR 12 billion and InCred Alternative Investments completing fundraising for its inaugural special situations credit strategy at INR 15 billion.
