Proven returns and impact at scale
TPG pioneered institutional scale impact investing with the creation of The Rise Fund in 2016. Since then, TPG’s Impact Platform has grown into the world’s largest of its kind with a family of funds pursuing non-concessionary returns and achieving social and environmental impact at scale through growth equity, private equity, and infrastructure investing strategies. With our first mover advantage, we have invested in over 80 impact-oriented companies in partnership with mission-driven founders and entrepreneurs around the world.

Y Analytics: Industry-Leading Impact Assessment
Given the large and increasing amount of capital flowing into impact investing, it is critical that this capital is deployed effectively, efficiently, and responsibly. From the start, we dedicated significant resources to developing impact underwriting tools and rigorous impact assessment. As a result, we created Y Analytics, a public benefit entity dedicated to helping our impact team better understand, value, and manage social and environmental impact. Since founding Y Analytics, we’ve remained committed to making all of our methodologies available to the public and routinely teach and share them throughout the academic, research, and investing communities.
The Y Analytics Team within TPG is comprised of over 30 economists, analysts, and researchers who have assessed over 1,000 companies. From the start of the Rise journey, Y Analytics was built for rigor and has been an active partner in capital allocation decisions, leading to unparalleled scale and track record of impact.
Built on the TPG Chassis
TPG’s Impact Platform was built within TPG, a leading alternative asset manager across public and private markets, benefitting from global reach and over 30 years of investing experience across multiple market cycles. TPG has a proven track record of developing unique investment approaches that build healthier businesses and deliver uncommon potential. That ethos is what led to the development of our first Rise Fund and fostered our growth into a fully scaled impact investing platform.
