In 2023, we remained committed to our core strategy. We continued to identify, invest in and develop companies we believe are both resilient and well-positioned for growth, and were disciplined in our efforts to deliver consistent outcomes for investors. Our investors, partners, portfolio companies and the TA team make sustaining our momentum as a firm possible.

We are deeply grateful for the continued trust and partnership and look forward to capturing the opportunities ahead, together.
