Morgan Stanley’s asset management division is exploring plans to launch a new India-focused investment vehicle, potentially targeting $500 million in capital. The move involves transferring select assets from an existing fund into a new continuation vehicle, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The firm is looking to shift 8 healthcare-focused investments into the proposed structure. The discussions are private, and the individuals cited requested anonymity. Investors have already been approached regarding the strategy.
Among the assets under consideration are Omega Hospitals and RG Scientific Enterprises Pvt. Ltd., one of the people said. Morgan Stanley Investment Management acquired a minority stake in Omega Hospitals in 2024. In the same year, it secured a controlling stake in RG Scientific.
A spokesperson for Morgan Stanley declined to comment on the matter.
Morgan Stanley Investment Management oversees $1.9 trillion in assets globally. The India investments were made through its alternative investment platform, Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia.
The potential continuation fund reflects a broader trend in the investment industry. More firms are turning to secondary transactions as alternative exit options beyond traditional initial public offerings and mergers.
According to a report by Jefferies Financial Group Inc., the global secondary market grew 48% to $240 billion in 2025 compared to the previous year. The rising activity highlights increasing demand for liquidity solutions within private markets.
