BetterInvest Launches Category II AIF Focused on Media & Entertainment

Mumbai, Jan 12 (UNI) BetterInvest has launched a SEBI-registered Category II Alternative Investment Fund, BetterInvest Media Vision Fund – 1. The fund is designed as a private credit, income-generating vehicle with a five-year tenure, targeting a corpus of ₹300 crore, and a green shoe option of an additional ₹300 crore.
The BetterInvest Media Vision Fund-1’s core investment strategy focuses on the media and entertainment sector, with emphasis on movie and content production financing. Unlike conventional debt funds, this AIF adopts a strategy of a debt-plus-profit-sharing structure, enabling investors to participate not only in interest income but also in the upside potential profits from successful content projects.
“India’s media and entertainment industry has reached a stage where content financing requires institutional-grade capital, faster deal execution, and smarter risk structures. With the launch of our SEBI-registered Category II AIF, we are formalising what has largely been an unorganised financing segment,” Sedhumanikandan, Co-founder, BetterInvest, said.
