Tikehau Capital to merge real estate arms

Global alternative asset manager Tikehau Capital plans to merge its real estate savings subsidiary, Sofidy, with its asset management arm, Tikehau Investment Management. 

Paris

This strategic move aims to create a unified, stronger, and more diverse real estate platform with expertise across multiple strategies and geographies.
Tikehau Capital currently manages €13.8 bn in real estate assets, which accounts for 27% of its total assets under management. By combining its platforms across Europe and the U.S., the company seeks to accelerate growth and expand its international presence, especially as real estate markets are expected to recover. This consolidation will also improve its ability to source new investment opportunities and strengthen its global standing.
The new combined platform will integrate all of Tikehau Capital's real estate activities, from investment and asset management to fund management, distribution, and client service. This will leverage the strengths of both teams, creating synergies and enhancing their overall offering.
Sofidy's expertise in SCPIs (real estate investment companies) will complement Tikehau Capital's value-driven approach, allowing the group to offer a wider and more innovative range of real estate investment solutions to both individual and institutional investors. Sofidy will continue to operate under its own brand, focusing on supporting private investors through open-ended funds, which will help Tikehau Capital strengthen its position in the alternative asset management market, particularly with private clients.
The proposed merger is subject to consultation with employee representatives, with an aim to finalise the transaction by the end of Q1 2026. A dedicated committee will oversee the project.
Tikehau Capital currently manages €51.1 bn in assets across various asset classes, including credit, real assets, private equity, and capital markets strategies, along with multi-asset and special opportunities strategies.
