Ian Laming will also continue to work as CEO, while Cameron Spry and Ric Lewis will retain their roles as co-CIOs at Tristan.

The deal, which is subject to the approval of certain closing conditions, helps Candriam, which is owned by New York Life Investments, to further boost its private assets solutions.

In 2018, Candriam first bought a 40% equity stake in Tristan to enter the European private equity property investment management sector.

Lewis said: “Tristan, Candriam, and New York Life Investments first entered into a strategic partnership five years ago.

“During this time, we have built a powerful alliance based on mutual respect and the understanding of the importance of preserving Tristan’s entrepreneurial culture, investment philosophy, and discipline.

“This next step is a testament to the success of our partnership to date.”
