Monday, February 10, 2025
Opalesque Industry Update - Hayfin Capital Management, a leading alternative asset management firm with c. €33 billion in AUM, today announced the completion of a management buyout of the business supported by Arctos Partners, a private investment firm, acquiring British Columbia Investment Management Corporation's majority stake.

The partnership supports Hayfin's long-term objectives of greater team ownership, alignment, and incentivisation, as well as generating superior and consistent risk-adjusted returns for clients.

Arctos, via its Keystone strategy, which provides strategic partnership to leading financial sponsors, through bespoke growth capital and liquidity solutions, has underwritten 100 percent of the funding and will facilitate the Hayfin team becoming the majority owners of the common equity.

This transaction exemplifies Arctos Keystone's mission to help great firms thrive and build the bridge from where they are to where they want to be. Together, our partnership positions Hayfin to accelerate its strategic growth ambitions, drive innovation across its platform, and bring more ownership and alignment to Hayfin's leadership team. We couldn't be more excited about the partnership."
