US pension fund stands by TPG after founder’s departure

Washington state pension system committed $250m to TPG impact fund before William McGlashan left in the wake of the college admissions scandal

TPG has found that one large investor is more than just a fair weather friend.

In March, TPG told investors in its second social impact fund they could withdraw their commitments after the firm’s founder and managing partner, William McGlashan, became embroiled in the US college admissions cheating scandal and left the firm, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
