<a style="color: #000080" href="https://tpg.com/">TPG</a>, a leading global private investment firm, today announced the appointment of Jin-Yong Cai as a Partner at the firm, effective from February 1 onwards.
Cai most recently served as the Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. Under his leadership, IFC introduced a new client-orientated and solutions driven culture to deliver value-added solutions to clients globally.
Before joining IFC, Cai worked in the financial services industry for nearly two decades. That included 12 years with Goldman Sachs Group, where he was a partner and its top executive in China. Before that, he was with Morgan Stanley, and was seconded to the China International Capital Corporation at the inception. Cai, who began his professional career at the World Bank Group in 1990, has a Ph.D. in economics from Boston University and a Bachelor of Science degree from Peking University.
In a newly-created role, Cai will work across TPG’s investment platforms to source opportunities in projects and companies that help to accelerate the economic growth of frontier and emerging markets.
Cai will leverage his own transaction expertise and deep relationships across Asia, Africa and Latin America as well as the insight and operational strength of TPG.
&#8220;Sourcing investments and helping build new businesses in frontier and emerging markets continue to be an important part of TPG’s business and future growth,” said Jim Coulter, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of TPG. “Partnering a leader of Jin-Yong’s experience and depth with our local teams in China, Southeast Asia, India and Africa is a truly exciting next step for TPG.”
“During our time together at Goldman Sachs, I saw firsthand Jin-Yong’s vision and expertise in identifying unique global investment opportunities,” said Jon Winkelried, Co-CEO of TPG. “Jin-Yong is a one of a kind leader in global investment and his relationships and transaction experience will be a tremendous addition to TPG.”
“TPG has uniquely positioned itself as a multi-disciplinary investor with a meaningful and significant presence in Asia and across new and emerging markets,” said Jin-Yong Cai. “Armed with the firm’s global footprint and robust operational platform, we are well placed to broaden and catalyze some of the unique opportunities that come from the huge need for capital and operational know-how in emerging economies.”
Founded in 1992 with over $70 billion of assets under management, TPG has investment platforms across a wide range of asset classes including private equity, growth venture, real estate, credit and public equity.
Since the start of 2014, TPG has raised more than $18.6 billion for its investment funds and has launched six new products including Pace Holdings, TPG Real Estate Finance Trust (TRT) and TSL Europe.
