The Investment Process

The investment process begins with the Investment Team reviewing the available opportunity and the associated documentation. This allows the team to assess the suitability based on their objectives and risk tolerance. If the Investment Team chooses to proceed, the necessary agreement will be executed, outlining the rights and obligations of the parties. Following the investment, periodic updates will be provided regarding the performance.
To start, you can contact us via our website or through our investor relations team. We can provide you with detailed information about the investment process and the available opportunities where Arbour is currently involved.
The process involves reviewing the offering documents, understanding the legal agreements, and becoming familiar with the steps involved in transferring funds, and confirming an investment.
The entire process, from initial contact to confirmation of investment, usually takes 1 day, depending on how quickly documentation is completed.
To proceed, basic KYC documentation will typically be required. Additional documentation may be necessary depending on the nature of the investment.
Once you commit, periodic reports on the fund’s performance are provided and distributions are made according to the fund’s schedule.
The performance of the investment is monitored and documented through regular financial reports and portfolio updates, which are shared on quarterly basis either through online portal or through email communication, as deemed appropriate.
You will receive quarterly performance reports, and our team is available to provide the updates or additional updates or respond to any queries.
Lock-in periods vary by opportunity, but typically range from 3 to 5 years, depending on the nature of the investment.
Exit strategies will be aligned with market conditions to help maximize returns, including options like the sale of assets, refinancing, or project sales depending on the situation.
Early withdrawal options are typically limited due to the inherent nature of real estate investments. However, certain funds may have provisions for partial or early exits.
We actively manage underperforming assets to improve performance. Our goal is always to mitigate losses and ensure optimal outcomes.

Investment Strategies

We provide insights into diverse range of real estate assets, including residential and commercial developments as well as warehousing projects. Our strategies are often linked to Debentures issued by companies involved in these sectors. Additionally, we periodically review higher return equities that align with the risk-return profiles.
Through Private Credit, we provide structured debt solutions to real estate developers and their projects, helping finance key stages of real estate developments, and ensuring project completion.
Our Private Equity investments focus on acquiring stakes in high-potential real estate ventures and businesses, with the goal of fostering growth and contributing to the success of these projects.
Integrated Development is our end-to-end approach to real estate projects, where we manage the entire lifecycle—from land acquisition and financing to construction and project delivery. This approach ensures efficient execution and maximizes value creation across the entire development process.
Arbour diversifies its real estate portfolio through a mix of asset classes and strategies, including private credit, private equity, and integrated development. This approach helps manage risk and provides balanced exposure across different areas of real estate.

Returns & Taxation

Investment returns are generally managed according to the terms of each specific investment. These returns may be realized through dividends, interest, or capital gains, and are typically assessed on a quarterly or annual basis, depending on the structure of the investment.
The performance of investments varies depending on the specific fund and investment type. Each opportunity is evaluated individually, with performance influenced by factors such as asset class, strategy, and market conditions, all in line with the terms outlined in the investment agreements.
In India, capital gains tax may apply to certain opportunities. Short-term capital gains (from assets held for less than 36 months) are taxed at the applicable income tax rate, while long-term capital gains (from assets held for more than 36 months) are taxed at 20% with indexation benefits. It is recommended to consult with a tax advisor for specific guidance related to your situation.
We work closely with legal and compliance teams to ensure that all investments meet regulatory standards in India.
