Tristan’s senior team will continue to hold the remaining 20% stake in the firm.
The company will not make any changes to its investment process or strategies, following the completion of the deal.
Its existing management will retain their positions, with Ric Lewis continue to serve as executive chair of Tristan as well as chair of the investment committee and the chair of the holding company.

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.”
