about LC Luminere Credit Fund
LC Luminere Credit Fund is the scheme of LC Luminere Alternatives Trust which is registered as a Category II AIF. This is a sector-agnostic, closed-ended performing credit fund designed to make senior secured investments in high quality sponsor backed mid-market corporates in India. The fund combines institutional governance, independent origination, and cross-border capital access on a single, conflict-free platform, offering investors exposure to India's expanding private credit investing opportunities with regular income distributions.
Invest in high quality sponsor backed corporates
The fund targets high-quality mid-market corporates with robust governance, a proven business history, and strong market positions in growing sectors. These are operationally profitable, cash-flow-generating businesses that require bespoke capital solutions that conventional bank lending channels are unable to address due to regulatory restrictions, structural complexity, or turnaround dynamics.
