You get 30 days off. You also have to deal with horrible management - like some of the rudest people in the biz.
Is this based from Paris or is this in London as well?
London team is nice, so I am probably guessing Paris
Worst people as in because they are French or in addition to being French?
laughable comp, decent exits if you leave early enough
What is this random fund that people keep posting about????
honestly, half the people on this site cannot use the search function
From what I have heard, pay is below street, culture is French heavy (don't necessarily need it to work but need it to progress), but can exit decently if you just work as a junior.
I have a call with an investor in one of those funds in a couple of weeks, will update anything else I learn.
So comp below street, any insights to the comp progress upwards?
Also, any idea on their fund performances?
I had a call set up with a director or sth I forgot the title and dude didn’t show up, emailed me later saying let’s reschedule to this date. I asked what time fits best for him, dude stopped replying.
Even when I checked in twice after a few days. 😂
For a shop with so much AUM, they make really questionable decisions. For starters, the CEO is a huge prick - always speaking poorly about others firms publicly. Their head of secondaries is a director (not MD) - they didn't bother to hire a replacement after the head went to Apollo so they just called a VP director and figured it is a way to pay less. From what I know of the secondaries team they have no skill or talent and struggle to generate 1.3x returns. I can confirm that even in the U.S. you will get 30 days off, but the pay is quite under market and you won't get carry.
Mathieu? He seems a bit of a character ngl
Working on a deal with them right now. Got questions about a set of deals the night before IOIs are due… didn’t answer
their secondary fund had pretty good returns no? saw it on a prospectus
Bump
Management is the worst in the industry
The head of secondaries is a kid that worked in marketing and they were too cheap to hire an MD so they just call him head of secondaries. The guy that owns the firm is a nasty nasty individual.

Terrible human
"x joined Tikehau Capital in 2016 and serves as Head of Tikehau Capital’s Private Debt Secondaries (TPDS) business. x was previously based in Paris within the Sales & Marketing team, before relocating to New York in 2019 to help launch Tikehau Capital’s Private Debt Secondaries business."
That's hilarious, I thought you were exaggerating but they really pulled someone from their own marketing team and just made them head of something they had no experience with.
