**Amova Asset and Tikehau Capital Officially Launch Joint Venture**
**Asia's leading asset management company collaborates with Europe's pioneer in private assets and decarbonization.**
**Announced in conjunction with French President Macron's official visit to Japan for a bilateral summit.**
Amova Asset Management Co., Ltd. (formerly Nikko Asset Management Co., Ltd., hereinafter "Amova Asset") and Tikehau Capital, a global alternative asset management group headquartered in France (hereinafter "Tikehau Capital"), are pleased to announce that their joint venture company, "Tikehau Amova Investment Management Pte. Ltd." (hereinafter "Tikehau Amova Investment Management"), officially commenced operations on April 2, 2026. The joint venture will focus on developing and deploying innovative, Asia-focused private asset investment strategies globally.
Based in Singapore, Tikehau Amova Investment Management today received approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to commence business operations. It is the first joint venture in Asia between a Japanese company and a European-headquartered company in the private asset sector [1]. This joint venture further develops the strategic partnership concluded between Amova Asset and Tikehau Capital in 2024.
Amova Asset will provide its expertise and distribution network in the Asian region, including its subsidiaries. Meanwhile, Tikehau Capital brings extensive experience and a proven track record in private asset management in Europe, as well as decarbonization expertise with €5.8 billion in assets under management dedicated to climate change and biodiversity-related sectors [2]. The joint venture will combine the strengths of both companies to offer investment strategies such as decarbonization private equity strategies and Asia-focused private credit. These strategies will be provided through the global networks of both companies.
Japan, where Amova Asset is headquartered, is promoting the realization of a "Leading Asset Management Center" and decarbonization policies by the government, and this joint venture will benefit from such tailwinds.
Stefanie Drews, President and CEO of Amova Asset, said, "Investors in Asia and around the world are looking for investment opportunities related to decarbonization, and we look forward to offering the outstanding expertise that Tikehau Capital boasts in this field. We have already been offering Tikehau Capital's strategies for over a year, and we are confident that this joint venture is a natural next step that perfectly matches the cultural aspects of both companies, accurately captures the needs of our investors, makes logical sense, and demonstrates the affinity of our corporate cultures."
Xavier Musca, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Tikehau Capital, stated, "I am delighted to celebrate this important milestone for Tikehau Capital and our partner Amova Asset while I am in Tokyo as a member of the President's delegation to Japan. By bringing together Amova Asset's strong platform in Asia and Tikehau Capital's expertise in private assets and strong commitment to a decarbonized economy, we will be able to provide clients in Asia and around the world with access to a broader range of innovative investment strategies."
Louis d’Estienne d’Orves, Head of Asia Pacific at Tikehau Capital, noted, "Asia is home to some of the fastest-growing markets in the world. We are very excited to take this new step in the region through this joint venture, bringing our unique strengths in private assets and decarbonization, along with our entrepreneurial spirit. Amova Asset is a reliable and reassuring partner in exploring these markets."
