TPG Company Description
Yee-haw! Let's round us up some LBOs! TPG Capital, also known as Texas Pacific Group, has staked its claim on the buyout frontier. The company, which does not get involved in the day-to-day operations of the companies in which it invests, usually holds onto an investment for at least five years, although consistent moneymakers may be kept indefinitely. Notable holdings include stakes in Neiman Marcus, Ducati, Lenovo, SunGard Data Systems, and Aleris International. With KKR, the company bought electric company TXU (now Energy Future Holdings) for some $45 billion, including debt, in one of the largest buyouts in history. TPG amassed $15 billion for a Texas-sized buyout fund in 2006.
