[SINGAPORE] French private-markets firm Tikehau Capital said that it has doubled funds raised from Asia between 2024 and 2025, without disclosing specific figures. It attributed this to regional investors increasingly turning to Europe in search of diversification.

Louis d’Estienne d’Orves, head of Asia-Pacific at Tikehau, told The Business Times in a recent interview that this shift reflects a broader reallocation, rather than a wholesale move away from the United States.

“Obviously it’s not US against Europe; it’s more about reallocating slightly after Liberation Day,” he said, referring to US President Donald Trump’s broad package of import duties announced on Apr 2, 2025. “We have strong traffic on the private-debt side, private equity and on the real estate side.”
