India Realty Excellence Fund II (IREF II) was the second domestic scheme launched by MORE. The fund, with mezzanine structure in mind, shall focus on real estate development, predominantly investing in Tier 1 cities with a residential focus. The fund closed in March 2015.
The fund is fully raised, closed, deployed and is currently in the process of exiting its investments. The fund’s exits are based on self-liquidation or through repayment of fixed IRRs by the developer to the fund.
With the right execution of strategy and processes, IREF II has secured six full exits and one partial exit at healthy IRRs.
As on March 31, 2018 the Fund has already returned 45% of the capital to the investors.
Investment Strategy
- Focus on residential projects at established locations
- Partnering with established developers across top Indian cities for their mid-income residential projects
- 1st Fund to undertake mezzanine investments when others’ were focusing on fixed coupon post approval projects
- Able to identify the shift in goal post from “Approval Risk” to “Sales Risk”
