TPG Inc. is a leading global alternative asset management firm headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. The firm manages investment funds across growth capital, venture capital, public equity, and debt investments.

Founded in 1992 as Texas Pacific Group by David Bonderman, James Coulter, and William S. Price III, TPG has grown into one of the world's largest private equity firms. The firm's early success was marked by a high-profile turnaround of Continental Airlines in 1993, followed by a series of significant investments in companies like J. Crew, Del Monte Foods, and Burger King. In 2022, the firm went public on the Nasdaq at a valuation of approximately $9 billion.

TPG operates across several distinct investment platforms, including TPG Capital for large-scale buyouts, TPG Growth for smaller growth equity investments, and The Rise Fund, a social impact investment fund launched in 2016. In 2023, the firm significantly expanded its credit and real estate capabilities by acquiring Angelo Gordon for $2.7 billion. The firm is known for its contrarian investment style and has a history of navigating complex corporate carve-outs and industry turnarounds.

The firm's portfolio spans diverse sectors including technology, healthcare, consumer retail, and media. Notable recent activities include the acquisition of a majority stake in DirecTV from AT&T and the creation of major regional funds, such as its eighth Asian buyout fund. TPG maintains its corporate headquarters in Fort Worth and its operational headquarters in New York City, with a global presence supported by over 1,900 employees as of 2024.
