Tikehau Capital, the global alternative asset manager, and iCapital, a global FinTech platform driving access and efficiency in alternative investing for the asset and wealth management industries, announced a partnership to increase wealth managers’ access to Tikehau Capital’s private market investing opportunities.

In order to provide wealth managers and their high-net-worth clients in the EMEA region with Tikehau Capital’s portfolio of alternative services, the two companies will collaborate to develop a customized marketplace powered by iCapital’s technology.

Wealth managers will initially have access to alternative investments through the digital solution, which is often exclusively available to institutional investors. It contains the third vintage of Tikehau Capital’s exceptional opportunities strategy, which enables investors to take advantage of credit opportunities across market cycles and credit dislocation, as well as the second vintage of the Impact-driven real estate value-add strategy.

The largest fund distribution network in the world, Allfunds, will also make Tikehau Capital’s offers accessible. In June 2021, iCapital and Allfunds announced a strategic alliance under which iCapital will offer its clients access to private market investment options.

While institutional investors have had access to alternative investment alternatives for a long time, high-net-worth individuals and their advisors have historically encountered substantial obstacles such as high investment minimums and challenges in getting in touch with top asset managers.

“We are delighted to partner with iCapital, the leading platform in the alternative investment market for the asset management industry. This strategic partnership is a key step for Tikehau Capital, allowing us to expand our investor base and provide investors with solutions across multiple assets classes,”

                                                               Antoine Flamarion, co-founder of Tikehau Capital. 

The technology used by iCapital automates the subscription process, offers transparency into every step of the investing process, and seamlessly integrates performance and reporting for alternative investments in an end-to-end digital platform, thereby materially enhancing the effectiveness and client experience of alternative investing.

“Today marks another important milestone in our global expansion, and we are extremely pleased to partner with Tikehau Capital, a highly respected alternative asset manager, to provide EMEA wealth managers and their clients with institutional-quality private market investment opportunities,”

                             Lawrence Calcano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of iCapital.
