ICOF II has maintained consistent quarterly income distributions, achieving a 10 per cent annualised cash yield (inclusive of tax deducted at source), and has already returned over Rs 430 million to investors.

The fund has received the CARE AIF 1 grading from CareEdge Analytics & Advisory, the highest rating awarded to alternative investment funds by the agency.

Across both Fund I and II, Modulus has deployed a cumulative Rs 29.46 billion across 26 credit transactions, with 16 successful exits and over Rs 16.9 billion returned to investors. The firm’s maiden Centrum Credit Opportunities Fund (CCOF) is set to conclude with full exit in January 2025, having delivered a gross internal rate of return (IRR) exceeding 17 per cent.

Modulus Alternatives continues to focus on delivering strong risk-adjusted returns and steady income to investors, while providing tailored financing solutions to quality Indian businesses in need of strategic capital.
