The Rohatyn Group Expands Into Africa With Acquisition of Ethos Private Equity
Summary
Incorporating Ethos expands TRG’s capabilities and local presence during a volatile period in financial markets, giving investors access to one of the largest and fastest growing regions in the world. With over 20 years of experience, investment teams at TRG offer capabilities across public equities, corporate and sovereign debt, private markets, forestry, agriculture and infrastructure. “We share a belief that multiple thematic cross currents -- such as private credit, renewable energy, digitalization, and agriculture, among others -- will anchor future investment priorities for investors. In addition, TRG will provide the Ethos business with exposure to a new group of investors and further align our combined efforts with LPs to strengthen the foundations of capital markets on the African continent,” said Mr. Rohatyn. This transaction represents a compelling opportunity for us to pursue the next growth phase as the African arm of TRG, one of the largest alternative asset management firms in emerging markets.
