Morgan Stanley has acquired an undisclosed minority stake in French asset manager Tikehau Capital Advisors.

The American bank made the investment through its investment vehicle North Haven Tactical Value fund.

Morgan Stanley participated in French asset manager’s latest equity round in which it raised at least €300m ($335m).

Tikehau Capital Advisors also raised capital from its founders and managers, who will continue to own more than 60% of its share capital.

Morgan Stanley Tactical Value Investing co-head Pedro Teixeira said: “The Morgan Stanley Tactical Value Investing team is pleased to partner with Tikehau Capital Advisors in support of Tikehau Capital SCA’s growth.

“Tikehau Capital is a premier asset manager comprised of seasoned investment professionals with strong investment performance. We look forward to working with Tikehau Capital Advisors’ management to build on Tikehau Capital’s successful platform as they enter an exciting new period of expansion.”
