TPG Anchors Real Estate Credit Firm
Caro Investors Management, LLC, a new investment management firm founded by Careina Williams, has announced a new partnership with global alternative asset manager TPG.
TPG NEXT will act as a “significant” anchor investor and strategic partner to Caro as part of its objective to seed and accelerate the emergence of “next-generation investment firms,” according to the firms.
Caro’s maiden real estate private credit strategy deploys capital into middle-market private debt investments with underlying commercial real estate exposure in asset classes, including multifamily, industrial, investment-grade retail, and other defensive real estate sectors.
Headquartered in Chevy Chase, MD, the firm was founded in 2024 by Williams, who serves as managing partner. Through its partnership with TPG, Caro will benefit from procurement, talent acquisition, capital formation, investment sourcing, and diligence.
“With Caro Investors, we intend to fill a growing void of institutional investment management firms addressing middle-market investment opportunities in real estate equity and credit,” said Williams.
San Francisco-based TPG has $224 billion of assets under management across private equity, impact, credit, real estate, and market solutions.
