TPG Angelo Gordon

TPG Inc. is a prominent global alternative asset management firm, established in 1992 by Jim Coulter and David Bonderman, with its initial offices in San Francisco.

Over three decades, TPG has expanded its investment strategies to include private equity, impact investing, credit, real estate, and market solutions. A significant development in the firm's history occurred in November 2023 when TPG successfully completed the acquisition of Angelo Gordon.

The firm's principled focus on innovation has driven a disciplined, organic evolution of its business, involving the incubation, launching, and scaling of new platforms and products. TPG operates through six distinct platforms, growing organically into opportunities identified through thematic work in key sectors and geographies, alongside strategic acquisitions.
