TPG seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of TPG’s economic, investment or other financial interests.

It is TPG’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time.
