In this media article is highlighted the fact that Edelweiss Alternative Asset Advisors had raised Rs 500 crore through its onshore alternative investment fund — Edelweiss Real Estate Opportunities Fund that day.

The fund aims to capitalize on limited liquidity in real estate market through multi-strategy approach with focus on cities like Mumbai, NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai across residential and commercial real estate, Edelweiss said in a statement.

The fund has already deployed Rs 152 crore in four deals across geographies.

They believed that residential real estate is poised to bounce back with existing regulation available to protect consumer interest, Edelweiss global wealth and asset management chief executive Nitin Jain said.

In addition, limited capital availability creates an ideal opportunity for providers of alternative sources of capital to invest in real estate. Improving business sentiments and a recovery in the demand for office space will lead to further investment opportunities, he added.
