TPG Inc. is a leading global alternative asset management firm headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, that manages investment funds across a wide range of asset classes.

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 established its reputation early on with a high-profile turnaround of Continental Airlines and has since become known for its ability to execute complex leveraged buyouts and growth equity investments across a variety of sectors.

The firm operates a diverse global platform that includes TPG Capital for large-scale buyouts, TPG Growth for middle-market and growth equity, and The Rise Fund for social impact investing. In 2022, TPG became a public company, listing on the Nasdaq. Its recent strategic expansions include the acquisition of alternative investment firm Angelo Gordon in 2023, which significantly bolstered its credit and real estate capabilities.

TPG's investment history is marked by major deals in the technology, travel, and consumer sectors, including the buyouts of Burger King, MGM, and Neiman Marcus. While the firm faced a significant setback with its investment in Washington Mutual during the 2008 financial crisis, it has remained a dominant force in the industry, recently launching major climate-focused initiatives and expanding its presence in Asian markets.
