TRG Management LP (“TRG” or the “Firm”), also known as The Rohatyn Group, was founded by Nicolas Rohatyn in 2002. After building JP Morgan’s emerging markets business, Mr. Rohatyn and the Firm’s other founding partners saw an opportunity to leverage their combination of knowledge, skills and contacts to provide specialized expertise in emerging markets (“EM”). The Firm has been built on four guiding principles: Commitment to EM: As the fastest growing economies in the world, emerging markets offer great potential for growth of capital. Shifting economic and capital market developments and idiosyncratic circumstances in each individual market offer many opportunities to pursue alpha. Global Perspective, Local Insights: We believe successful investment outcomes in emerging markets require local sources of insight and information complemented by a global perspective and network. Additionally, we find that broad country coverage of the full spectrum of emerging market countries increases the likelihood of generating unique investment ideas. Disciplined Investment Process: A well-defined investment process creates predictability and fosters transparency. Discipline in process and a focus on risk management are particularly important in emerging markets, which remain more vulnerable to downturns than developed markets. Comprehensive Infrastructure: TRG’s asset management investment services are supported by a business management platform with roughly 130 employees offering risk management, legal and compliance, operations and custody, marketing, investor relations and information technology.
