Tikehau Capital announces the launch of a new initiative in partnership with

DWS Group in the United Kingdom

As part of their strategic alliance, Tikehau Capital will partner with DWS Group on a growth initiative to implement an investment strategy for small to medium-sized defined benefit pension schemes. This strategy will aim to provide a solution of secured income assets1 ("SIAs"), including infrastructure debt, real estate debt, direct lending, asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations and leveraged loans.

Since Tikehau Capital's participation in the IPO of DWS in March 2018, and the two parties' strategic alliance agreement established later that year, both asset management groups have continued to work together to identify and develop collaborative business opportunities.

The launch of this new strategy meets the objective of both groups to align their respective expertise in alternative investing and offer bespoke financing solutions to companies.

Over half of UK defined benefit pension schemes are in deficit, with insufficient assets to meet their liabilities2. This new solution will aim to offer these schemes enhanced security of income through a diversified private and structured credit solution where diverse SIAs are combined.

For small and mid-sized defined benefit pension funds, which may have been restricted from investing in individual asset classes due to minimum size or governance requirements, this latest solution offers the opportunity to invest in SIAs. SIAs aim to offer stable long-term returns due to the contractual nature of asset cashflows, the expected resilience of the underlying assets to different economic cycles and the quality of underlying collateral.

Frédéric Giovansili, Deputy CEO of Tikehau Investment Management, declared:

"We are delighted to work in partnership with DWS to launch a solution for small to medium sized pension funds which combines our expertise in direct lending and leveraged loans. This new investment strategy meets the objective of both DWS and Tikehau Capital to align our respective expertise in alternative investing and to offer bespoke financing solutions and sources of secure income to institutional investors."

1Secured income assets are often debt instruments with a contractual right to receive income and capital at pre-specified dates. For this reason, they are expected to deliver a predictable income stream. They are also typically secured against collateral. Examples include commercial real estate debt secured against property and infrastructure debt secured against an infrastructure project. The term "secured" does not constitute a guarantee of income or returns.
