Tikehau Capital primarily supports mid-sized companies' growth through, in particular, minority stakes acquisitions or financing solutions, and is committed to helping entrepreneurs benefit from its expertise and ecosystem.
In 2020, the Group continued to offer products that meet these objectives, in particular with:
6 Total net new money raised from third party investors and Tikehau Capital's balance sheet.
The Group also seeks to bring together the economic players, particularly industry and finance, into a common objective. 2020 highlighted the Group's ability to successfully implement this strategy:
Beyond the aerospace industry, Ace Capital Partners' expertise is focused on strategic industries and technologies, including cybersecurity. Ace Capital Partners manages the largest venture and growth capital fund entirely dedicated to cybersecurity in Europe, with AuM reaching c. €100m at 31 December 2020. In 2020, Ace has acted as the lead investor in the funding of Tehtris (France, €20m), Preligens (France, €20m) and EclecticIQ (The Netherlands, €20m).
With the objective of consistently offering new and diversified products to appeal to a range of investors, and further strengthening its position as a player in financing the real economy, the Group offered:
The Group has consolidated its dedicated offering already available to retail investors, including the SCPIs 10 managed by Sofidy (a wholly-owned subsidiary with €6.7bn of AuM at 31 December 2020), the open-ended funds managed by its capital markets strategies team and the crowdfunding activities accessible via digital platforms (Credit.fr and Homunity). Finally, Tikehau Capital has strengthened its two listed REITs, including the successful capital increase of IREIT Global, in Singapore, raising €89m in October 2020 and the ongoing transformation of Selectirente in France.
7 Representing €86m.
8 Representing €559m.
9 European Long-Term Investment Fund.
10 Real estate investment vehicles.
Tikehau Capital has continued to invest significantly in its own strategies and has reinforced its alignment of interests with those of its investor-clients with €667m of commitments made to its own funds or strategies in 2020 (including in (i) funds: 4 th vintage in Private Equity aerospace, 5 th vintage in Direct Lending, Impact lending, Private Debt secondary, and (ii) in the capital increase of IREIT Global).
The Group's investment portfolio came in at €2.4bn at 31 December 2020 (€2.3bn at end 2019), of which €1.6bn invested in the funds and strategies managed by the Group, representing 65.8% of the portfolio (vs. 61.0% in 2019).
In addition to the €1.6bn already invested in the asset management funds and strategies, Tikehau Capital has €1.0bn of additional commitments, which will be drawn as the funds deploy their capital. At 31 December 2020, Tikehau Capital had committed a total of €2.6bn (drawn and undrawn) to its asset management strategies.
The Group is therefore ahead on its objective for 2022 to grow the proportion of its own strategies within its investment portfolio from 65% to 75%.
The hedging strategy implemented by the Group in 2020 as part of its risk management policy remains in place at this point in time.
In 2021, Tikehau Capital intends to continue to use its balance sheet, a differentiating asset and enabler of growth, to launch new families of products and/or specific vehicles while maintaining its strategy of aligning its interests with those of its investor-clients.
