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:

• The launch of the fifth vintage of Direct Lending fund (TDL V), which had AuM of €660mat 31 December 2020

• The “pan-European growth equity” private equity fund (Tikehau Growth Equity II), which was launched in 2018 and whose subscriptions closed in 2020. This fund’s AuM amountedto €375m at 31 December2020 (+30% comparedto the previous program).

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:

• Following its launch 2018, the private equity strategy dedicated to “energy transition” (T2) had an investment capacity of €960m at 31 December 2020 and will close fundraising at the beginning of 2021beyond the objectives initially planned

• Tikehau Capital was selected, throughits subsidiary Ace Capital Partners, to exclusively manage a privateequity fund (4^th vintage of aerospace fund) to support the aerospace industry, following a call for tender organized by the major industrial players Airbus, Safran,Thales and Dassault Aviation, with the support of the French State. An initial closing took place in July 2020 totaling €630m, in which Tikehau Capital committed €230m. New subscriptions, of which €100m was committedby the Crédit Agricole group, led the fund to reach nearly €750m of AuM at 31 December 2020.
  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:

(i) New strategies:

• The Group’s 1^st private debt secondaries fund (TPDS) reached $105m⁷ of AuM at 31 December 2020 (subscribed by Tikehau Capital)

• The Group’s 1^st impact lending fund (TIL) will provide financing solutions with terms and conditions depending on the underlying companies’ ESG performance. This fund had c.€100m of AuM at 31 December 2020

• The 2^nd “special situations” fund (TSO II), whose subscriptions will close in early 2021, should exceed AuM target (€535m at the end of 2020)

• The 1^st pan-European opportunistic and value-add real estate fund (TREO) closed subscriptions on 28 February 2020 with €560m of net new money. The fund has already completed several acquisitions and had €755m of AuM at 31 December 2020

• The acquisition of Star America Infrastructure Partners, which had c.$685m⁸ of AuM at the end of 2020, enables the Group to expand in the infrastructure sector in North America.

(ii) Products available for private clients:

• In December 2019, the Group launched a fund in partnership with Fideuram – Intesa Sanpaolo Private Banking in Italy offering a bespoke, multi-asset solution to private clients seeking diversified exposure to European private markets. This fund has raised more than €400m from 3,000 private investors in Italy

• The Group’s 1^st European Long-Term Investment Fund (ELTIF⁹), launched in 2020, has been designed for the private clients of Banca March in Spain and is dedicated to energy transition

The Group has consolidated its dedicated offering already available to retail investors, including the SCPIs¹⁰ 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.

2. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO: THE OBJECTIVE OF ALIGNMENT OF INTERESTS HAS BEEN EXCEEDED

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: 4th vintage in Private Equity aerospace, 5th 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.
