BENGALURU (Reuters) - Edelweiss Financial Services Ltd (NS:EDEL) said on Wednesday U.S.-based Kora Management would invest $125 million in the Indian financial services company, weeks after Canadian private equity firm CDPQ's investment of $255 million.
Kora will invest $75 million in Edelweiss Financial's advisory business and a further $50 million in Edelweiss Group, the shadow bank said https://www.bseindia.com/xml-data/corpfiling/AttachLive/aacc92e3-2cd9-4666-a40d-3c07cb76a82f.pdf.
Indian shadow banks are facing a funding crisis as domestic lenders are wary to invest in them following industry behemoth IL&FS default amid fraud allegations, leaving many of them to seek overseas support.
In May, rival Cholamandalam Investment and Finance Company Ltd (NS:CHLA) said it would raise $222 million through bonds from foreign investors.
Mumbai-based Edelweiss said in March that CDPQ's Asian arm made a $150-million investment as the first tranche of its total outlay.
