According to a recent industry report from REDD Intelligence, SC LOWY, the Hong Kong-based alternative asset management firm focused on credit investments, was ranked among the top 5 private lenders in India during the first half of 2024. The report highlights SC Lowy’s growing presence in India’s private credit market, where the firm has been actively providing financing solutions to businesses that have been restricted from traditional bank lending. The firm’s founder Michel Lowy emphasizes that this strong performance in India’s private credit space underscores SC Lowy’s ability to identify and capitalize on opportunities created by the tightening of regulatory oversight on banks’ lending activities across Asia.

Ankit Thaker, SC Lowy’s Head of India based in Mumbai, adds: “India continues to offer substantial investment opportunities for credit investors to earn attractive risk-adjusted returns. In the current environment, there is significant demand for flexible capital. Interestingly, borrowers are also prudently utilizing the funds raised to amplify their own returns and unlock value in their businesses. This trend has encouraged both investors and borrowers to channel more capital into productive uses.”
