Co-GP & Co-Sponsor Models: The Next Big Trend in AIFs

Globally, high-quality fund managers increasingly collaborate through Co-GP or Co-Sponsor structures. India is now adopting this trend quickly as the AIF ecosystem matures.

In a Co-GP model, two or more fund managers jointly run a strategy, combining their expertise — for example, one brings sourcing strength, another brings operational turnaround experience. This improves deal quality and risk management.

For HNIs, Co-GP structures often mean better governance, deeper due diligence, and stronger institutional-grade oversight. They also align incentives because every manager has real skin in the game.

In India, infrastructure AIFs, private credit, and growth equity funds are already using this model to scale faster and compete with global players.
