UTI Alternatives, the private markets division of UTI Asset Management Company (UTI AMC), has introduced the UTI Structured Debt Opportunities Fund IV (SDOF IV), the newest offering in its premier private credit series designed to meet the funding requirements of mid-market enterprises in India.
Registered as a Category II AIF under SEBI regulations, SDOF IV is a Rs 1,500 crore fund focused on building a portfolio of performing credit investments with regular income distributions, targeting mid-to-high teen returns.
“SDOF IV follows the same collateral-backed, disciplined approach that characterized its predecessors. India’s mid-market segment still presents significant financing gaps where tailored credit solutions can fuel growth while mitigating risks through structured investments and active oversight, guided by our governance-first, process-driven philosophy. It builds on an impressive 8+ year track record of originating and managing private credit portfolios,” stated Rohit Gulati, Chief Executive Officer, UTI Alternatives.
Shaurya Arora, Chief Investment Officer, UTI Alternatives, remarked, “SDOF’s strategy hinges on unique deal sourcing and stringent due diligence. Our screening combines in-house analysis, external expert reviews, and thorough research. The fund often invests in first-time private credit issuers, with our schemes being the sole subscribers.”
The earlier vintages—SDOF I, II, and III—have navigated multiple market cycles, connecting institutional investors, UHNI family offices, and global capital with mid-market borrowers. The fund has supported 40+ companies across sectors like healthcare, education, consumer goods, manufacturing, and renewables, achieving 20+ complete exits—a testament to its proven track record.
