Nisus Finance Services Co Limited, a leading investment management firm specializing in urban infrastructure and structured finance, has made a significant move to expand its operations in the UAE. This strategic expansion is being supported by the global investment bank Houlihan Lokey, which has been retained to assist in raising financing for the Nisus High Yield Growth Fund Closed-Ended IC (the Fund). The Fund focuses on acquiring high-yield, stabilized rent-earning assets in the Gulf region, with a targeted Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of over 20%.

This collaboration is part of Nisus Finance’s broader effort to enhance its presence and capabilities in the UAE market. The firm has established its Dubai-based subsidiary, Nisus Finance Investment Consultancy FZCO, which serves as the exclusive investment advisor to the Fund. With the support of Houlihan Lokey’s expertise in capital markets, mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring, Nisus Finance is poised to capitalize on lucrative opportunities in the region's real estate and infrastructure sectors.

The Nisus High Yield Growth Fund is a DIFC-registered Category 3C fund, regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). It primarily targets high-yield, stabilized rent-earning assets in the Gulf region, particularly in Dubai. The Fund has already deployed a total investment of USD 55 million across two key properties in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and Al Furjan, which are poised to provide stable returns in the long term.

To further boost its growth in the region, Nisus Finance recently inaugurated a new office on Sheikh Zayed Road in DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre). The office is staffed by a senior team of nine investment professionals. With this setup, Nisus Finance is focused on expanding its fund licenses, raising new capital, and strengthening its investment management infrastructure.

Expansion and growth are core to Nisus Finance’s strategy, with plans to reach a target corpus of up to USD 1 billion for the Dubai-based fund. This ambitious goal is reinforced by the partnership with Banque Banorient France, which has already sanctioned over AED 100 million to support the Fund’s acquisitions in the region. Nisus Finance’s operations in Dubai have already established a robust financial ecosystem across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, positioning the firm as one of the leading players in acquiring stable, rent-yielding assets.

Commenting on this significant milestone, Amit Anil Goenka, Chairman & Managing Director of Nisus Finance Services Co Limited, said, “This is a transformative moment for us in the GCC region as we drive a powerful strategy to unlock substantial alpha through high-yield, mitigated asset buyouts. With a highly skilled team in Dubai, we are fully equipped to seize this opportunity at scale. Our existing assets stand as proof of the immense potential in this space. The participation of a top-tier global investment bank in our Fund’s distribution is a game-changer. Their deep-rooted expertise in the GCC market allowed them to quickly recognize our unique value proposition, and their partnership will be a catalyst in propelling this Fund to unprecedented heights.”

In addition, Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, Partner at Nisus Finance Investment Consultancy in Dubai, added, “In a short time, we have established a strong and dynamic ecosystem in Dubai, enabling us to optimize returns across diverse asset classes, including residential, commercial, serviced apartments, and warehousing across the UAE. Our partnership with Houlihan Lokey will play a pivotal role in scaling our Fund portfolio into a high-quality institutional offering with the potential to reach multi-billion-dollar scale while delivering strong alpha returns. We are focused on building a sustainable, high-performance platform, and I am fully committed to driving its long-term success.”

This expansion is a significant step for Nisus Finance as it solidifies its foothold in one of the most promising markets for investment in the Middle East. The company’s successful ventures in Dubai showcase the strength of its investment strategy, and the partnership with Houlihan Lokey only adds to its credibility and potential for further growth in the region.

Nisus Finance Services Co Limited, promoted by Mr. Amit Goenka and Mrs. Mridula Goenka, is a company that specializes in urban infrastructure financing and capital markets. With over 10 years of experience, the company operates under the Nisus Finance Group (NiFCO) brand, focusing on transaction advisory services and fund & asset management. Additionally, Nisus Fincorp Private Limited functions as a Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC), further expanding its reach and services in the finance sector.

As Nisus Finance continues to expand its portfolio and strengthen its position in the UAE and broader GCC region, it remains committed to its goal of delivering superior solutions and driving growth across its managed assets.
