TRG Management LP was founded in 2002 by Nicolas Rohatyn as an alternative asset management
firm focused exclusively on investing in the global emerging markets. Since that time, TRG
Management LP’s asset management business has grown both organically and through the
acquisition of certain third-party asset management businesses, including more recently the
following:
TRG Management LP is the successor to the investment advisory business of GMO
Renewable Resources, LLC (“GMO RR”), an investment advisory firm that was founded in
1997 and focused on providing institutional clients with discretionary and non-
discretionary investment advisory services relating to investments in forestry and
agriculture. In 2017, TRG Management LP assumed substantially all of the liabilities of GMO
RR and acquired substantially all of the assets GMO RR, including all of the investment
advisory agreements of GMO RR and all of the outstanding equity of the non-U.S. investment
advisory subsidiaries of GMO RR. In connection with the GMO RR acquisition, an affiliate of
TRG Management LP also assumed the management of certain entities that serve as the
general partner of private funds that were advised by GMO RR and are now advised by TRG
Management LP.
In 2018, affiliates of TRG Management LP replaced the general partners and managing
members of, and assumed the investment advisory agreements of, certain private funds that
were previously managed and controlled by affiliates of J.P. Morgan (the “AIRRO Funds”).
The AIRRO Funds invest in Indian infrastructure assets.

primarily invest in or trade in the securities of issuers that are economically tied to
emerging market and/or frontier market countries.
On April 1, 2023, TRG Management LP and its affiliates acquired the management and
control of certain private equity funds and mezzanine debt funds, and assumed certain
investment advisory agreements, from Ethos Private Equity Proprietary Limited (“Ethos
PE”) and its affiliates (the “TRG Africa Accounts”). The TRG Africa Accounts primarily
pursue investments in South African and sub-Saharan businesses.

TRG offers a diverse range of investment advisory services and strategies focused primarily on
emerging markets. TRG’s investment strategies span multiple asset classes and comprise four
primary business lines: private equity and credit, forestry and agriculture, infrastructure and
renewable energy, and public markets. The firm is able to offer investors both traditional forms of
exposure to emerging markets as well as customized solutions.
TRG provides both discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services. TRG
provides these services to a number of pooled investment vehicles, including, among others,
investment limited partnerships (“LPs”) and investment corporations (“Companies” and together
with LPs and other pooled investment vehicles, the “Funds”), and to separately managed accounts
(“SMAs”). TRG manages the Funds and SMAs on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis, as
applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of each Fund’s or SMA’s investment
management agreement and organizational documents, as applicable. TRG typically provides its
discretionary advisory services to the Funds either as the general partner of the Fund (in the case of
LPs) and/or pursuant to an investment management agreement.
The Funds are not required to register as investment companies under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), generally in reliance on either Section
3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.
While the investment objectives and strategies pursued by the Funds are detailed in the relevant
offering memorandum, SMAs managed by TRG typically permit the client to more closely tailor
investment objectives, strategies, guidelines and restrictions to the client’s unique investment
objectives and risk thresholds. The particular strategies employed for each SMA client may range
from investments in a single security, property or other asset to a diversified portfolio of securities,
properties or other assets. Likewise, the governing documents of the SMAs may include negotiated
restrictions on the geographical area in which investments may be made, the degree of

discretionary basis and $1,922,932,107 on a non-discretionary basis.
All discussions of TRG’s practices in this Brochure are qualified in their entirety with respect to
each SMA or Fund by the applicable investment management agreement or offering and
organizational documents, as applicable, governing the SMA client’s or Fund’s account with TRG,
including without limitation all practices pertaining to the account’s investments, strategies used in
