Tactical Strategies

Capitalising on the firm’s broader platform to offer differentiated investment solutions

Nimbleness and ability to deploy in all market environments are at the core of the Tactical Strategies expertise. The team spans multiple areas of expertise and brings together our shared investment capabilities with the following key governing principles:

  • Transversal approach, leveraging the firm’s global reach and capabilities in terms of local intelligence, research, deal sourcing and execution
  • Nimble deployment across multiple asset classes
  • Flexible investment scope, allowing us to navigate across the capital structure in order to provide bespoke and versatile capital in a great variety of contexts


Our investment scope includes private and liquid credits, real estate and private equity, therefore strongly resonating within each of the firm’s business units. Thanks to these defining features, we are able to make highly informed investment judgements, take a contrarian approach across the spectrum when necessary, while providing differentiated solutions to our investors.

- Maxime Laurent-Bellue, Head of Tactical Strategies

Our offer

  • Special opportunities funds: European opportunistic credit strategy focusing on corporate and real estate credit. We provide bespoke capital solutions in situations characterized by a scarcity of liquidity, across primary and secondary markets. Relying on a contrarian investment approach and broad mandate we strive to explore any transaction context, navigating across the capital structure in order to identify untapped value and extract compelling risk-adjusted returns.
  • Multi-asset solutions: an innovative investment proposition, leveraging Tikehau Capital’s entire platform. We provide investment and allocation solutions across different asset classes, strongly entrenched around private assets. We seek to democratize access to private markets at a larger scale, by offering institutional and private investors access to our products in a holistic approach. By building diversified portfolios combining several asset classes, direct and indirect investments, we ensure lower correlation and swift deployment regardless of the environment.
