What Is TPG's Investment Narrative?

For someone considering TPG, the core belief is that this is an asset manager that can turn high-fee, higher-complexity strategies into growing profits, even as overall revenue is expected to contract and the stock trades on a rich earnings multiple. The recent launch of Third Wave Insurance, with Palmer & Cay as its anchor partner, looks more like a brand and capability builder than a near term earnings catalyst, so it may not move the needle against upcoming drivers such as the 2025 results and any guidance around fund performance, realizations, or capital raising. That said, it does add a new execution risk in an area where TPG is effectively building a tech-enabled platform from scratch, at a time when dividends are not well covered and the share price has already lagged the broader market.

However, one emerging risk here is how much execution room TPG really has on this new platform. TPG's share price has been on the slide but might be up to 9% below fair value. Find out if it's a bargain.
