Good morning, and welcome to the TPG's Second Quarter 2022 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator instructions] Please be advised that today's call is being recorded. Please go to TPG's IR website to obtain the earnings materials. I will now turn the call over to Gary Stein, Head of Investor Relations at TPG. Thank you, and sir, you may begin.

Gary Stein

Analyst

Great. Thanks, operator. Welcome to our second quarter 2022 earnings call. Joining me this morning are Jon Winkelried, Chief Executive Officer; and Jack Weingart, Chief Financial Officer. In addition, our Executive Chairman and Co-Founder, Jim Coulter; and our President, Todd Sisitsky, are also here with us and will be available for the Q&A portion of this morning's call. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you that this call may include forward-looking statements that do not guarantee future events or performance. Please refer to TPG's earnings release and SEC filings for factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. TPG undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Within our discussion and earnings release, we are presenting GAAP measures, non-GAAP measures, and pro forma GAAP and non-GAAP measures, reflecting the reorganization that was completed during 2021 and immediately prior to TPG's IPO. We believe it's helpful for investors and analysts to understand the historic results through the lens of our go-forward structure, and please refer to TPG's earnings release for details on the pro forma financial information. We'll also be discussing certain non-GAAP measures on this call that management believes are relevant in assessing the financial performance of the business. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the nearest GAAP figures in TPG's earnings release, which is available on the company's website. Please note that nothing on this call constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase an interest in any TPG fund. Looking briefly at our results for the second quarter. We reported a GAAP net loss of $10 million and after-tax distributable earnings of $162 million or $0.46 per common share. We also declared a dividend of $0.39 per share of Class A common stock, which will be paid on September 2 to holders of record as of August 19. With that, I'd like to turn the call over to Jon Winkelried, Chief Executive Officer.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Thanks, Gary, and good morning, everyone. During our prepared remarks today, I'll touch on our recent performance and discuss a few highlights across our business. I'll then turn the call over to Jack to provide more details on our financial results followed by Q&A. We delivered strong financial results for the second quarter, despite a volatile global macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. These results highlight the momentum of our franchise, the strength of our portfolio, and the inherent growth in earnings power of our model. Our second quarter fee-related revenues of $256 million grew 43%, compared to the pro forma year ago quarter, while our fee-related earnings, or FRE, more than doubled to $102 million over the same period. This FRE growth, combined with $60 million of performance-related revenues in the quarter led to after-tax distributable earnings of $162 million, which more than tripled, compared to the pro forma year ago quarter. Driven by these strong results, we announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.39 a share, representing 85% of TPG's after-tax distributable earnings. As of June 30, we had $127 billion of total assets under management, an increase of 17% year-over-year. This growth was driven by significant fundraising activity across our business, led by first closings in the quarter for several of TPG's flagship funds, including TPG Capital Partners, healthcare partners and rise. In aggregate, we raised $13 billion during the second quarter, which is 120% increase versus the year ago quarter, and we raised a record $31 billion over the last 12 months. We're pleased with the strong support we have received from both our long-standing and newer limited partners. The success of our recently completed and ongoing fundraising campaigns is a testament to our excellent track record, strong LP relationships, and best-in-class team. In addition to our robust…

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Thanks Jon, and good morning everyone. I'll briefly walk through our financial results and highlight some of the more significant points regarding our second quarter performance. Our total assets under management grew from $108 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2021 to $127 billion as of June 30 of this year. The key drivers of the 17% increase were the $31 billion of capital raised that Jon mentioned, combined with $15 billion of value creation from our underlying fund investments, partially offset by $28 billion of realizations that were returned to our fund investments during the same period. Fee Earning AUM increased from $52 billion at June 30 2021 to $67 billion at June 30, 2022. This 28% increase was driven primarily by raising nearly $17 billion in fee earning capital across our platforms, most notably in real estate and impact. Additionally, proforma for the recent activation of our next flagship Capital and Healthcare Partners funds, which I'll discuss momentarily, our fee earning AUM is now $73 billion, which is a 39% increase, compared to the second quarter of 2021. At June 30, approximately 84% of our AUM and 77% of our fee earning AUM was in either perpetual or long-dated funds with a duration at inception of 10 years or longer. In addition, 80% of our fee earning AUM at a remaining duration of five or more years at the end of the second year. We had nearly $16 billion of AUM subject to fee earning growth, including more than $13 billion, not yet earning fees at the end of the second quarter. Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment, the fundamental performance of our portfolio companies remain strong, with aggregate revenue and EBITDA growth well above market, which we believe is a result of our hands-on approach…

[Operator instructions] And our first question will come from Craig Siegenthaler with Bank of America. Your line is open.

Craig Siegenthaler

Analyst

Hey, good morning everyone.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Good morning, Craig.

Craig Siegenthaler

Analyst

So, we wanted to start on fundraising and it was nice to see the $7 billion closure [Fund 9] [ph] and almost $2 billion for Healthcare 2 in the quarter, especially given some of the emerging challenges, but I want to circle back to Jack's prepared commentary on extension, I think was the word he used. Do you think it'll be significantly more difficult to raise the second half of these funds? I think you have about $8 billion of the $18 billion remaining in the second half of this year, just given that some of your limited partners, they may have hit their full-year fundraising targets a little earlier this year given the [nominator effect] [ph]?

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Yes. Thanks for the question, Craig. Look, we've been talking for a few quarters now about the fundraising market challenges and the fact that I think all fundraising campaigns across the industry will be more extended than usual. And that, I think, remains the case for the reasons you're articulating. Against that backdrop, we couldn't be happier or more proud of the progress we made as of the end of the quarter and the subsequent quarters I just referred to. I do think as we look out toward the completion of those campaigns that I wouldn't expect them to be complete by the end of the year. I think all of them will extend into next year.

Craig Siegenthaler

Analyst

Thank you, Jack. And just for my follow-up, it's actually on the real estate business and marks. And I was curious behind the dynamics of your negative 2.3% mark in real estate. Within that portfolio, which segments were marked down the most, which ones are maybe flat to up? And I also wanted to see how cap rates generally trended, which likely will offset strong free cash flow growth.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Yes, Craig. It's Jon. First of all, I would say that our real estate portfolio, and I think we've talked about this before, is actually performing extremely well. And the places that we're exposed are places where, frankly, I think we feel good about being exposed. So, as you know, our focus from a sector perspective has been life sciences, industrial, rental, residential housing, student housing, data centers and studio content real estate. And we have very little, if any, significant exposure to office or retail, which obviously are down much more significantly. I think as a general matter, we've been reasonably conservative in terms of our marketing, even though our operating performance is actually exceptionally good. And one of the things that we do look at is we do look at across our entire business, public market comps and if you look at REITs in the market, as an example, REITs have had a pretty tough ride in this market downdraft. Just a couple of benchmarks for you. ProLogis, down 23%. EQR, down 19%. These are the largest industrial and apartment REITs. So, when you think about, sort of how we think about marking our book, I think we're being reasonably conservative in doing so. And I think that the areas where we're marking in relation to that, obviously, industrial, rental residential housing are places where we're taking into account those benchmarks relative to the rest of the portfolio, which is marked slightly stronger. So, I think it's fairly straightforward in terms of our approach to how we came through this quarter in our marks. Obviously, cap rates are up a bit with rates overall. The real estate securitization markets are much slower than they were with loan to values that are down, spread slightly wider, etcetera.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Alex Blostein with Goldman Sachs. Your line is open.

Alex Blostein

Analyst

Hey, good morning everybody as well. So, I was hoping maybe we could expand a little bit on the fundraising backdrop and just, kind of look under the hood a little bit. One of the things, Jon, you mentioned, is the expansion of the LP basin. I'm curious kind of how that evolved another year through the first slug of the fundraising? How does it differ from the predecessor funds either in terms of the composition of LPs, the number of LPs geographically or by customer tab? We just like to get a little bit more color as we kind of try to get confidence in the remaining piece of this fundraising cycle for you guys?

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Sure. Thanks, Alex, it's Jack. I would say consistent with, I think, my comments on the prior call, we're definitely seeing a bit of a mix shift in the LP base, first of all, given that the current dynamics in the fundraising market are affecting some segments of the market more than others. I would say that the composition of an LP base is much more international, this cycle than it was last cycle. If you compare the TPG 9 and Healthcare Partners 2, for example, all the capital we've closed on to date, about 35% or so is domestic U.S. capital in the same funds last time, TPG Healthcare 1, it was about 47%. So, a mix shift toward more international capital and a mix shift with pensions representing a bit lower percentage and areas like sovereign wealth increasing. And then I would also say we're definitely successfully expanding our LP base during this broad-based fundraising campaign. We've added – I don't have exactly the amount of capital we've added from new LPs, but it's a substantial portion of our fundraising process.

Operator

Operator

Alright, thank you. [Operator instructions] Our next question will come from Ken Worthington with J.P. Morgan. Your line is now open.

Ken Worthington

Analyst

Thanks for taking the questions. So, as we think about organic growth for TPG and filling in some of your product gaps, how do you see, sort of the spreads between the bid and the ask adjusting for potential deals given the more challenging market conditions that we've seen? So, public market valuations for [all else] [ph] have come down a bunch. To what extent, if at all, have private market valuations come down as well and are they holding up? And then I guess, ultimately, what is your desire to kind of fill in one or two of the capability gaps that I think we talked about during the IPO process, as you look out over, I don't know, pick a time period, 12 months to 18 months. So, not immediately, but over the next, call it, year and a half or so. Is that something that's still sort of a priority for you, I guess, is the question?

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Ken, just to clarify the first part of your question, I think on the [bid-ask spread] [ph], you're referring to within the [odd space] [ph], not just generally with respect to our portfolio company, right?

Ken Worthington

Analyst

Yes. Correct. This is you as a buyer or an investor – you as a buyer for your personal M&A.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Yes. Well, personally, [indiscernible] well, look, I think the first part of the question in terms of sort of the bid-ask spread, I think I would characterize as very, kind of bespoke or situational. It's very hard to kind of generalize because I think that we have, naturally, as we said during the IPO process, we're interested in continuing to expand our business. And as you know, most of our growth historically has been through organic developed growth. We continue to believe that will be an important growth driver for us. On the nonorganic or the acquisition side, I think that you would expect that we would be very targeted and focused on what we're adding, what the characteristics of it are? And I think there, it's very specific to the potential strategy firm people. So, I really have a hard time generalizing when it comes to that in terms of the bid-ask spread. So, people want to get paid a lot for the businesses, they do, particularly where generally the asset-class has had a tailwind over the last number of years. So, I would say that would – our judgment on it is, it continues to be quite situational and sort of one-off and specific. And I would reiterate that we do have a desire to continue to be forward leaning on filling in gaps in our business. I think that in particular, I think we continue to have some dialogue with various strategies across the credit space. We feel that generally in our rise and impact business that broadening our capabilities there in a number of different categories is something where we might be able to accelerate that by either acquiring something or something like an aqua hire, a team in a particular discipline. And so, we'll continue to be engaged in the market.

Ken Worthington

Analyst

Okay. That’s great. That’s it from me. Thank you very much.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Thank you.

Operator

Operator

Our next question will come from Brian Bedell with Deutsche Bank. Your line is open.

Brian Bedell

Analyst

Thanks very much. Good morning folks. Maybe if you could just talk about the FRE margin that stepped up nicely to the close to the 40% level. Jack, just your view on given that we're activating these funds now in July, whether you think you're at a level where you can maintain that FRE margin at that 40% level in the second half here? Obviously, you mentioned getting to 45% at the end of 2023.

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Yes. Thanks for the question, Brian. Look, I think – I mean, you guys all have models to understand how our business works. The fact that we accelerated the timing of our first closes on our large flagship funds is meaningful, and that should continue to drive good FRE margin expansion. You can never time these things exactly in terms of how our continued investment in people to grow our business coincides relative to the growth of our capital base and the activation of new capital. But now that we've activated those funds that will provide a good bolus to additional management fee growth in the back half of the year. I think that will, to answer your question, allow us to maintain or grow the 40% FRE margin in the back half of the year. Again, toward our target as we complete these fundraises.

Operator

Operator

Our next question will come from Glenn Schorr with Evercore.

Glenn Schorr

Analyst

Hi, thanks very much. So, I heard your comments loud and clear on the moderate case of monetizations, maybe in the back half, makes complete sense in the market we're looking at. Just curious if you could talk about how much and how long? And I know that's always a weird question, but usually, you have some lag and lead time on when you ink deal. So, pace of moderation in monetization? And I guess it's the same question on deployment, I've never seen so much dry powder as a percentage of AUM before. I don't know if that pace and timing is any different because you're dealing with the same bid-ask in the market, but maybe having a lot of cash on hand might make deployment quicker than monetization. So, two-parter, but it's the same question. Thanks.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Glenn, it's Jon. Maybe what we'll do is start with monetizations. And I think I'll ask Todd who's here to talk a little bit about pace of monetizations and what we're seeing there, then we'll flip it over to deployment.

Todd Sisitsky

Analyst

Yes. First of all, thanks, Glenn for the question. We're very cycle aware. And so, during this last period, as you know, we were very active on the monetization front. And I think our – the relationship between monetizations and new investments for us over the past year or two was one of the highest in the industry. During that time period, a substantial majority of what we did on the monetization front, we're not IPOs, but were sales. And many of those were too strategic. And I think to your point, some of these strategic sales do continue to pay. So, the dialogues that you have during those periods, they may not be quite as active during this period on as many fronts, but there still is, I think, enacted [indiscernible] some of our companies and several of our portfolios. And so during periods like this, we see a moderation. And I think it's quite possible to end up slipping to more of a net buyer and we'll talk about the deployment pace in a moment, but the opportunities are still there. These companies that we've built over many years, we feel like we’ve made the more strategic, more growth. And that's why we are such a high number of companies that end up in strategic hands and those continue to be opportunities in different types of economic cycles. So, moderation, yes, the dialogues are ongoing. And frankly, we continue to feel like there's going to be opportunities in the quarters and years ahead on the modernization front.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

And, Glenn, I think on deployment, look, I think where we're sitting, and I'm going to want to ask Jim, who is on the call as well to make a couple of comments here as well, but on the deployment pace, your observation about the level of dry powder and ours, in particular, is absolutely right. We've got a tremendous amount of dry powder, which we actually feel great about going into this cycle. We've talked about the sort of good ask spread dynamic in past calls. We still see that playing out. We clearly see from – if you go through my comments in terms of where we actually have deployed capital, we do see the adjustment process continuing. And there's actually, I think, overall, a fair amount of activity, and we really like the sectors and the themes where we've been focused for a while now. We really like what they're looking like and the opportunities that we're starting to see there. There's a lot of focus in the market, as you already know, on take privates, public to privates. And there's a lot of talk about that. I think that some of that is getting done and some of that will get done. They're not easy deals to get done, but I think they will get done because obviously, there's – given the public market reset, there's a number of clear opportunities there. So, we're engaged in some dialogue on deals like that. I think that we do start – we are starting to see some, kind of resetting of expectations in kind of sponsor-to-sponsor related activity. And then given, sort of our relative strengths here in terms of, for instance, our impact business. And when I mentioned about the new build, etcetera., Climate Technologies. I'm going to turn that over to Jim to just make a comment on that.

Jim Coulter

Analyst

The pending bill – this is Jim, by the way, the pending bill is probably should drive an interesting discussion on investment opportunities in the climate space. Those of you who have followed it know that it's unlike traditional attempts in climate mitigation. Traditional attempts have been adding cash taxes to admitters. This bill is almost 100% incentives. It's a [indiscernible] bill driven to drive investment. And obviously, that serves us well. To give you a sense, there's three things that we're focused on, first of all, in our existing portfolio, probably 60% to 70% of what we've deployed was deployed, assuming these incentives weren't in place and it has a very positive effect on that deployment, but more importantly, repeat, which is someone who scores the bill basically expects this bill to drive $3 trillion of investment in the climate space. Personally, I think of that is – that that investment is going to happen, you probably have to release double your money. So, that's a very substantial potential profit pool for investments, and that should open the aperture of deals that will make sense for us given our high hurdle. And lastly, the U.S. tends to drive technological advancement around the world. So, driving changes in the U.S. market, I think, is going to increase our aperture globally. So, I think not well talked about yet, but interesting is looking forward for deployment in the climate space that should have a very interesting effect.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Yes. Just last piece, Jack, why don't you talk a little bit about numbers on real estate.

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Sure, Glenn, just to give you a little more color on the realization pipeline. I think I mentioned on the last call that we had $125 million or so of realizations that were contractually committed, but had not yet closed. Obviously, you saw in the second quarter that we delivered $60 million of actual realizations. And as we sit here today, we still have over $100 million of allocable performance allocations signed, but not yet closed. I think Jon's comments were beyond that, our bias at this point is to be selective on monetizations. Given how aggressive we were at selling assets in the past 12 months to 18 months, we currently have a very young, very interesting portfolio of companies, and our bias is to work with the management teams to build those – build long-term value in that portfolio unless we see very attractive exit opportunities.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Michael Cyprys with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.

Michael Cyprys

Analyst

Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking the question. Maybe just following up on the pending climate bill and the opportunity set that you mentioned. I guess is there anything that you guys need to do in terms of expanding the team or the platform to capitalize on the opportunity set that you see from the pending bill? And maybe you could just elaborate a bit more on that? Thank you.

Jim Coulter

Analyst

Yes. Michael, it's Jim. We feel good about the progress of building the existing team. As Jon pointed out, deployment in the impact space has been strong this year. So, I'm not in any way concerned about team. Over time, I think there are opportunities for either organic or inorganic growth to allow us to expand the types of pools of capital we're deploying in the space. So, obviously, our focus right now is on Climate PE, but there are clear adjacencies around that, that we could either organically or inorganically grow into. And I think the climate bill will accelerate LP's views of the exposure they want to build in this area.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Robert Lee with KBW. Your line is now open.

Robert Lee

Analyst

Great, thanks. Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. Wanted the first question to be on, kind of your business footprint. Obviously, you have a large growing Asian platform, but you don't talk as much about your EMEA platform. I know it's something you've talked about investing in. Can you maybe just first update us on where that stands and your list of priorities to expand your footprint through Europe and the EMEA region? And then maybe secondly, and I apologize if you went through this earlier, can you update us on your, just some expense guidance for the year, I mean it came in, comp in particular, seemed like really well controlled, but should we still expect that to accelerate at a meaningful pace over the back half of the year?

Todd Sisitsky

Analyst

Sure. It's Todd. Thanks to question. Let me start just on the European front. This is a geography we've been in – really since the beginning of the firm. So, it is important to us. And we've made a lot of progress, I think, in recent years. I think, as Jon mentioned, we just announced a large healthcare deal, [indiscernible]. We have one of the co-heads of the TPG Capital Healthcare platform who works out London with a great team. And so, we're really building our pipeline and our presence there. In real estate, which is another of our global strengths, we have a strong presence with a number of partners and senior team members who have had a lot of success both on the investment and the – on the liquidity front. And so, Europe for us, we're continuing to grow. We have sort of leaned in, particularly in our strengths. And it also has become an increasingly important place for us from a fundraising perspective. So, I can't remember how much trips and weekends and we spent over in Europe personally. We had a dozen team members over for the [indiscernible] conference. We have a number of new relationships and we've been building across the platforms from a fund raising standpoint in Europe. So, it's an important area for us. We are putting a lot of energy against it. We're spending a lot of time as a senior leadership team in Europe trying to continue to grow the business. And fundamentally, we're leading our strengths as a global platform to keep on our European presence.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Jack, do you want to [indiscernible]?

Jack Weingart

Analyst

Sure. On the expense front, we're definitely continuing to invest in talent to support the growth of our business. So far this year, we've added over 125 new employees to the firm, and that's been pretty broad-based across investment and services platforms. And to answer your question, we do continue to expect an increase in the comp and benefits expense line through next year. The timing of that is always hard to predict based on where we find the right people for the right roles, but through next year, I'd expect continued growth in the comp and benefits line. OpEx is up in the high 50s as our business rebounds as we have people back in the office as we're all traveling more. And that's – I would expect continued growth in that line, but it is at a more moderate pace than the comp and benefits line.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Arnaud Giblat with BNP. Your line is open.

Arnaud Giblat

Analyst

Hi, good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Can I ask the question on the change in valuations? I think you took capital down 2.4% over the quarter. If you could split that up for me in terms of the different moving parts or change in valuation multiples, growth in EBITDA, and any uplifts you had upon exit? Thank you.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Sure. I would – I addressed this a little bit in my prepared remarks, but generally, the way I would characterize the way valuations came out on the private equity side is we definitely have aggregate revenue and earnings growth across our portfolio that is exceeding the comparable companies as we look at that metric. So, as we look – we, on average, took our valuation multiples down for the quarter, but that was almost offset by the growth in earnings.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question comes from Finian O'Shea with Wells Fargo.

Finian OShea

Analyst

Hi, everyone. Good morning. A question on private credit. Do you still have the similar playbook from the onset or do you consider starting internally, maybe bringing in a team, for example, and building it out from there?

Jack Weingart

Analyst

I alluded to this before in my comments, but we still do have a focus on expanding the platform and unclear. At this point, we are looking – we are evaluating a couple of different options, including, as I said, acquisitions/Aqua hire, which I think would be sort of consistent with what you're talking about in terms of bringing in a team. So, we remain focused on it and at some point, hopefully, we'll have more to say on it.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Rufus Hone on with BMO Capital. Your line is now open.

Rufus Hone

Analyst

Great. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. I was hoping to get a little more detail around your fundraising pipeline for 2023. And you had the accelerated closings of some of the larger funds starting to come through this quarter. And you mentioned that, that spills over a little into next year and you have the Asia fund coming up as well, but if you could give us a sense of what new funds you expect to bring to market in 2023, that would be helpful? Thank you.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

Sure. First of all, the current focus continues to be on completing the fundraising campaigns that we've talked about and scaling our existing businesses. In addition to that, and as I mentioned, those campaigns, TPG 9, Healthcare Partners 2, the Rise Funds, the Asia Fund, which we'll talk about our first close this quarter. We'll probably continue to play out over the next 9 months to 12 months as we complete those campaigns. In addition to that, as we've talked about in prior calls, we are continuing to focus on organic growth through new business creation. And the two areas I'd point to that we're most focused on are secondaries and life sciences. And as we play out the back half of this year, we'll update you on probably initial closes across both of those platforms, which will also by the way, which will also extend into 2023.

Operator

Operator

Thank you. Our next question will come from Brian McKenna with JMP Securities. Your line is open.

Brian McKenna

Analyst

Great, thanks. So, I had a question on your Asia business, I know you're in the market for your next flagship fund, but could you talk about some of the longer-term growth opportunities in the region? How you see your lineup of products and strategies evolving here over time? And then how should we think about resource allocation as part of the business moving forward?

Jack Weingart

Analyst

I mean just important to reemphasize that the flagship fund, obviously, is the base of our business, the core of our business and getting that fund raised and getting that fund raised and completed is our – frankly, right now is our real focus. I think that going forward, there are a couple of other areas that we have thought about before that could be interesting. I guess I would characterize those as real estate is one of them, which is an area that might be interesting for us going forward, big asset class in the region, obviously, credit is another area that could also be interesting. And I would say, a strategy perhaps that mirrors what we do here in our tech adjacencies fund, but perhaps in a slightly broader context of industries and verticals. And what I mean by that is essentially hybrid return type structures that might be at a slightly different return – in slightly different return category than our private equity focus in the region might also be a place that we see opportunities. So, once we get through our fund raise for our core Asia fund, we're going to be thinking about other potential opportunities.

Jon Winkelried

Analyst

And then on your team point, I think we have a very strong and stable team in the region in the capital business and [indiscernible] business elsewhere. And so, we feel like we're building from a really good base. And it's more steady as she goes with some incremental hiring and selective additions, but starting from a really good place.

Jim Coulter

Analyst

Yes. Jon, I would add in that the people tend to focus on our flagship fund and perhaps miss some of the strength of our Asia franchise, given the impact and growth investing is done through our global funds I would note that we probably had the highest profile climate investment in Asia last year with our investment in – a billion investment in Tata Motors. Jon mentioned the IPO in India out of our growth platform and the most recent is investment was a Malaysian medical school. So, we have a substantial footprint across several of our platforms to grow our products out there.

Operator

Thank you. Our last question will come from Brian Bedell with Deutsche Bank.

Brian Bedell

Great. Thanks so much for taking my follow-up. Just wanted to follow up on a question earlier about the potential inorganic expansion on the Impact platform. Just maybe a little bit more color on that in terms of what types of areas, is it mostly infrastructure that you're thinking or some other types of areas that would accelerate that platform? And then also if you can comment just on retail in terms of their take-up of some of the new funds, but both an impact in the Rise 3 and also just across the franchise capital and [healthcare burners] [ph].

Jim, why don't you start with the [indiscernible] platform?

Yes. For impact and particularly, I'll focus on climate for a moment. It's very clear to me that the $150 trillion expected global investing in climate transition is going to spread across traditional asset classes. And just as we saw in technology that assets that started in private equity like data center and tower has eventually move into infrastructure at an accelerated pace. The same is going to happen here. It's already happening in renewables and it will happen in a number of other of the themes that we're playing. So, from our thematic approach, there's clear opportunities in infrastructure. And as the companies we create in private equity mature, there will be clear opportunities in crossover investing between the public and private market. And finally, if you look at the capital that's been set up for this transition. A lot of it will be in the private credit markets. And I think there's an opportunity to address that entering on a thematic basis, as well as entering from a credit perspective. So, this is early days in a very large area, and we're making sure that we're considering all of the adjacencies while also being prudent in capital deployment pace.

Hi, Brian, it's Jack. On retail, high net worth, we definitely continue to see longer-term high net worth, it’s a big area of expansion for us. As you know, it's relatively low as a percentage of our investor base today, compared to some of our peers because our product set is really self-focused on long-term lockup funds that are really applicable to the highest end of the high net worth segment. We do have active campaigns planned or already underway for all of our products in market today with different channel partners to access high net worth capital. That would be true in TPG 9, Healthcare Partners 2, Rise 3, the Asia business, the secondaries business, life sciences, all of those, we have planned multiple engagements with high net worth channel partners. Typically, in a campaign like that, you don't lead with retail, you end up – you have your initial closes with institutions. So, the success we've had in raising capital across all these funds has actually been without much high net worth to date because we're planning those high net worth campaigns to follow the successful institutional closures that we already had. So, that's kind of upside from today forward. It's definitely the case. There's been a lot of written about this, but more weighted toward the lower end of the high net worth market, that some of the capital has been raised in more in more liquid vehicles with redemption rights. I think you're starting to see that the lower you go down the high net worth market, the more risk off mentality, we're starting to see kick in and high net worth market overall has definitely backed off of their growth at this point. We see that as a near- term issue. Longer term for us, we still see a lot of opportunity to expand our capital base in the channel.
