Tikehau Capital, an alternative asset management group with €42.0bn AUM across private debt, real assets, private equity and capital markets strategies, is in advanced discussions with Nikko Asset Management, one of Asia’s largest asset managers, over a business and capital alliance.
The strategic partnership would involve Tikehau Capital and Nikko Asset Management entering into distribution agreements in Japan and elsewhere in Asia, as well as establishing a joint venture dedicated to Asian private markets investment strategies.
Within this partnership, Nikko Asset Management would also acquire an equity stake in Tikehau Capital through acquisitions that could increase over time, but which will remain below the first applicable statutory disclosure threshold1.
Nikko Asset Management, which has $219.2bn under management, provides high-conviction, active fund management across a range of equity, fixed income and multi-asset strategies.
