23rd July | Hong Kong
UAE Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Company ($330 billion AUM) & France AXA Investment Managers ($919 billion AUM) private equity unit (AXA IM Prime) have announced to buy minority stakes in Europe alternative asset manager UK-based Hayfin Capital Management ($38 billion AUM) from Arctos Partners. Hayfin was founded in 2009 by Tim Flynn & Mark Tognolini. Announcement (22/7/25): “Hayfin today announced it has entered into strategic partnerships with Mubadala Investment Company (“Mubadala”) and AXA IM Prime, a business unit of AXA IM – part of BNP Paribas Group (“AXA IM Prime”), on behalf of one of its investment funds. As part of the agreement, each firm will acquire a minority interest from Arctos Partners (“Arctos”) in Hayfin and leverage their capabilities and expertise to support Hayfin’s investment strategies. The transaction builds on the partnership between Hayfin and private investment firm Arctos. In February, Hayfin completed a management buyout (“MBO”) supported by Arctos via its Keystone strategy, which provides strategic partnerships to leading financial sponsors, through bespoke growth capital and liquidity solutions. The transaction facilitated the Hayfin team becoming majority owners of the firm’s common equity. To enhance the MBO, Hayfin and Arctos jointly sought to distribute a portion of the firm’s institutional ownership to additional strategic minority shareholders. Mubadala and AXA IM Prime, alongside Arctos, will support the continued growth of Hayfin to further deliver on the firm’s long-term objectives of greater team ownership, alignment and incentivisation. Hayfin will remain focused on generating superior and consistent risk-adjusted returns for its clients. As with the Arctos-backed buyout, the transaction will lead to no changes in Hayfin’s strategy, investment process, leadership or day-to-day operations. Completion remains subject to customary regulatory approvals.”
