TPG’s GP-led group debuts in CCMP secondary; One Equity backs InfuCare

Morning!

 

This is Chris, on the Wire on Wednesdays for MK. Hope your week is proceeding well!

 

Here’s an interesting development – we have TPG’s debut in the GP-led secondaries market. TPG, as Wire readers are undoubtedly aware, has been building an internal unit to invest in GP-led deals. The unit is led by Michael Woolhouse and Matt Jones.

 

TPG is making a small investment in CCMP’s process to move two assets out of its third fund and into a continuation pool. Facilities management services provider BGIS represents the majority of the deal, which also includes a small interest in Truck Hero, the majority of which CCMP exited to an L Catterton-led consortium in 2020. Both assets are held in the firm’s $3.6 billion third fund, which closed in 2014. Read the full piece here on Buyouts.

 

Healthcare: One Equity Partners senior managing director Greg Belinfanti spoke with MK Flynn about the firm’s strategic investment in InfuCare Rx, which provides infusion therapies and management services for patients with chronic conditions. The investment is expected to close later today. Read the full interview here. 

 

Check out a sample:

 

Why is OEP investing in home-based care? What’s the overall opportunity?

 

InfuCare is aligned with OEP’s thesis that care will continue to shift from institutional settings towards the low-cost home setting and that home-based management of complex chronic conditions will be increasingly important. The home and alternate site infusion market is large and growing, and OEP believes future demand will be driven by increasing prevalence of patients with chronic conditions and the need to provide services in a cost-effective care setting.
