Disclosed is a catalytic component for trimerization containing a transition metal complex with which 1-hexene can be produced efficiently with excellent selectivity, even under high temperature conditions, by means of an ethylene trimerization reaction. Also disclosed is a trimerization catalyst that is obtained by bringing an olefin copolymerization catalyst and an activating co-catalytic component into contact with one another. Said transition metal complex is represented by the following general formula (1), wherein M
1
represents a Group 4 transition metal atom, and R
1
through R
11
and X
1
through X
3
each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a specific organic group.
