Material Changes Versus Prior Comparable Period
The filing does not provide prior-period fund metrics or a comparable-period reconciliation. Accordingly, material year-over-year or quarter-over-quarter changes cannot be determined from this filing.
Newer 2021 vehicles had limited operating histories and generally reported metrics as not meaningful, including AAF, AION, Growth V, TTAD II, Rise Climate and TSCF. TPG states that its Vintage Year classification methodology was recently adopted for funds with initial closings in 2018 or later; older funds retain prior classifications for consistency.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks and Unusual Items
- The reported figures are preliminary, unaudited management estimates based on internal reporting for the year ended December 31, 2021. The financial close and review were incomplete, and final results may differ.
- The filing identifies no unusual or unique events or trends that management believed would materially affect the estimates.
- Unrealized values for private investments involve judgment and uncertainty and may differ materially and adversely from eventual realized values. Expected transactions or performance markers may not occur.
- Gross and net IRR and multiple-of-money metrics are not measures of TPG Inc. revenue or profitability. Gross metrics exclude or approximate the effects of management fees, fund expenses and performance allocations, while net metrics reflect those items but exclude investor taxes.
- Past performance is not indicative of future results. Fund-level performance does not necessarily represent any individual investor’s return.
- Forward-looking statements are subject to political, economic, market, competitive and regulatory risks, as well as risks described in TPG’s other SEC filings. TPG undertakes no obligation to update such statements except as required by law.
- Special purpose acquisition companies within the Market Solutions platform are excluded from the presentation, and certain China-related joint venture results are also excluded.
Important Facts for Investors to Verify
- Verify the final fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 financial results against these preliminary estimates.
- Confirm the scope of funds included and excluded, including co-investment vehicles, SPACs, legacy funds, discontinued funds and China-related joint ventures.
- Review valuation methodologies and assumptions supporting the $68,632 million of total unrealized value.
- Reconcile reported fund performance metrics with TPG’s consolidated revenue, earnings, cash flow, debt and liquidity disclosures in the company’s subsequent periodic filings.
- Assess the definitions and calculation assumptions for Gross IRR, Net IRR, Gross MoM and Investor Net MoM before comparing TPG’s results with other managers or investment products.
