MAGIC ANNOUNCEMENTS
MaGiC USA is a deal-by-deal Private Equity Platform bringing global investment opportunities in Real Estate and Technology domains to Accredited Investors all over the world. With 95 investments and 35 exits over a short period of 6 years, we have built up a performance record that we hope you would be proud of.
Macroeconomic Snapshot:
With the global macroeconomic scenario turning fluid, we are in a period of uncertainty. As the USA aggressively pushes to reduce inflation, the consequences are being felt worldwide; this has created a puzzle with several moving parts and is making ‘caution’ the operative word for investment decisions.
Emerging Opportunities:
It is our view that the global challenges in motion are beneficial to Asia (non-China) – and India in particular – in the medium to long term, creating opportunity spaces for domestic and global investors. MaGiC USA and its affiliates are accordingly identifying the right partners, products and structures to promote reach into hard-to-access deals for small-bite investments. We will also add certain public and private market products globally and in India to our currently predominantly private and US-centric portfolio, and are strengthening our teams by bringing in more qualified and experienced seniors into the firm.
