Tikehau in Italy has already been active for some time on private debt investments. The last deal announced was the subscription last March 2018 of the 65 million bond issued by Business Integration Partners (BIP) to support the acquisition of BIP by Apax France.
Tikehau is also active in Italy on the real estate front, while it launched the private equity business last September 2018, appointing Roberto Quagliuolo as head of department, in coordination with Luca Bucelli, Tikehau Capital country manager for Italy (see here a previous post by BeBeez).
