Tikehau Capital North America

Tikehau Capital's global investment committee is led by co-founders Antoine Flamarion and Mathieu Chabran. The North American entity operates under the oversight of senior managing directors who report to the global CIO. The firm's public listing on Euronext Paris means its governance includes a board of directors, with the co-founders serving as executive chairmen (per Tikehau Capital's 2023 annual report).

The firm originates deals through a combination of its in-house origination teams across Europe and North America, partnerships with banks and advisory firms, and direct relationships with its family office investor base. Its network of over 300 institutional and family office clients provides a source of co-investment opportunities. The firm also leverages its public listing to access capital markets relationships.

Tikehau Capital is a publicly-listed alternative asset manager (Euronext Paris) with a multi-family office origin. The founding Flamarion and Chabran families remain significant shareholders, and the firm still operates a dedicated family office services arm for select clients. However, the majority of AUM comes from institutional investors through commingled funds, making it functionally closer to a traditional asset manager with a family office ethos.

The firm participates in both. It manages commingled funds across private debt, real estate, infrastructure, and private equity, and also makes direct co-investments alongside its partners. The North American team focuses on direct lending and real estate deals, while the European teams handle fund commitments. The firm's balance sheet is also invested alongside its fund LPs, aligning interests.

Tikehau Capital targets mid-market companies across the capital structure, from senior secured debt to equity. In private debt, it focuses on direct lending and unitranche facilities for companies with €50M–€500M in enterprise value. In private equity, it takes majority or significant minority stakes in established businesses. Infrastructure investments target core and core-plus assets. Real estate focuses on value-add opportunities in major European and North American cities.

The founding Flamarion and Chabran families built the firm with their own capital and that of a network of European entrepreneurial families. The firm's client base includes multi-generational family offices from France, Belgium, Italy, and Germany, with wealth originating from industrial, real estate, and financial services sectors. The firm does not publicly disclose individual family names beyond its founders.

Yes, Tikehau Capital operates the Tikehau Capital Foundation, established in 2019, which focuses on education and environmental sustainability. The foundation is funded by the firm's profits and is governed separately from the asset management business. The firm also has a dedicated impact investing strategy within its asset management arm, which is integrated into its private debt and infrastructure funds (per Tikehau Capital's 2023 sustainability report).
