Tikehau Capital reached a significant milestone, surpassing €1bn in cumulative net new money raised from South Korean investors since the opening of Tikehau Capital's Seoul office in 2017. With a total of 26 institutional LPs, this achievement reflects the firm's long-term commitment to Asia, where it has been expanding its footprint for over a decade.
