Founder Rajiv Jain suggests GQG Partners may raise Adani investment

Gautam Adani

Founder of GQG Partners, Rajiv Jain, hinted at an increase in investment in the Adani group after the recent $1.9 billion infusion into the Indian conglomerate. Speaking to journalists in Sydney, Jain explained that the firm typically initiates a position and then increases investment based on earnings and performance. Jain stated that the group’s rationale for buying Adani stocks when they were mostly falling was because they “do our deep dive, and we don’t follow the herd.” Jain noted that the response from clients to the Adani deal has been more positive than anticipated, stating “that’s how we differentiate ourselves.” GQG purchased 3.4% of Adani Enterprises for about $662 million, 4.1% of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone for $640 million, 2.5% of Adani Transmission for $230 million, and 3.5% of Adani Green Energy for $340 million. GQG, which manages equity funds for institutional investors, bought the stock from the Adani family trust.
