What is Teachers' Private Capital?

Teachers' Private Capital (TPC), the private investment department of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, focuses on direct private equity investments as part of a diversified portfolio spanning various industries. They have over $59 billion in assets under management, with more than 500 company and fund investments since 1991, and a global team of over 100 investment professionals. TPC invests in sectors such as Diversified Industrials & Business Services, Sustainability and Energy Transition, Financial Services, Consumer, Healthcare, Technology, and Portfolio Management.

Their investment strategies include growth equity, structured equity, buyouts, and co-investment with top-tier partners. They emphasize strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, aligning with a commitment to net-zero investments by 2050.

TPC distinguishes itself by providing capital support and expertise to help high-performing management teams grow into leading global franchises. This includes operational optimization, regional expansion, acquisition acceleration, or business re-orientation.

TPC has the flexibility to offer various capital solutions and invest without the typical pressures of fundraising or quick exits, given the long-term nature of its mission. They work with management teams and deal teams on value creation and talent management across their direct investment portfolio and pursue global investment and co-investment opportunities with innovative private equity fund managers. Some of their notable investments include APHG, New Zealand's largest human and veterinary pathology network; Busy Bees, the U.K.'s largest childcare provider; and Logoplaste, a global designer and manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging solutions.
