Nikko Asset Management (Nikko AM), one of Asia’s leading asset managers, and global alternative investment firm Tikehau Capital have joined forces to establish Tikehau Amova Investment Management Pte. Ltd., a new joint venture dedicated to innovative private asset investment strategies for the Asian market.
Based in Singapore, Tikehau Amova was incorporated at the end of 2024 to leverage the combined expertise of Nikko AM and Tikehau Capital in asset management and alternative investments. In early 2025, the firm submitted its licensing application to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with its official launch pending regulatory approval.
This strategic partnership aims to meet the increasing demand for private asset investments across Asia by delivering specialized and tailored investment solutions to institutional and private investors.
Tikehau Amova Investment Management Pte. Ltd. will leverage Tikehau Capital’s established capabilities in Asian Private Debt building on the firm’s strategy launched in February 2024 in partnership with UOB Kay Hian. In addition, the joint venture plans to introduce a dedicated investment strategy focused on decarbonisation in Asia. This initiative will draw on Tikehau Capital’s proven expertise and successful track record in private equity across Europe while leveraging Nikko Asset Management’s extensive regional market insights.
This joint venture represents a significant milestone in the strategic partnership established between Nikko Asset Management and Tikehau Capital in June 2024, representing one of its three foundational pillars. The partnership aims to develop innovative, Asia-focused private asset investment strategies by combining the complementary expertise of both firms. The goal is to address the growing investor demand for private asset investment in Asia, while aligning with key secular investment themes, such as decarbonisation.
These products would be distributed through the global networks of both groups.
