Rajiv Jain, the founder of $130 billion ASX listed global equity fund GQG that has tipped $US1.9 billion ($2.82 billion) into four listed Adani Group companies, says the fallout from an activist short seller report has allowed him to snap up “fantastic assets” at an attractive price.

Mr Jain spoke to The Australian Financial Review hours after the investment in the Adani companies was revealed and said he was confident that the investment would prove a sound trade.
