Hayfin completes Arctos-backed management buyout

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.

Tim Flynn, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Hayfin, said: "We are excited to partner with Arctos as we continue to enhance our offerings for investors, borrowers, and sponsors. With a shared commitment to investment approach and values, our firms are well positioned to collaborate and seize the vast opportunity set we see for the benefit of our investors. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Hayfin, as we continue to expand and evolve in a rapidly changing market."

Ian Charles, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Arctos, said: "We are partnering with Hayfin, Europe's premier private credit platform, at a pivotal moment in their growth trajectory. 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."

Founded in 2009, Hayfin specialises in providing critical debt, equity, and hybrid capital solutions to meet a range of financing needs. The firm's product offering spans direct lending, special opportunities, tactical solutions, high-yield/syndicated loans, healthcare opportunities, maritime yield, and private equity solutions.
