Background
In 1982, the TCW Group (TCW) established its Energy & Infrastructure Group in Los Angeles. The purpose of it was to invest solely in companies or projects in energy-related infrastructure. This was by providing mezzanine debt and private equity to energy projects and companies mainly in OCED countries. It would also target one-off negotiated private transactions with small- and mid-cap energy companies.
In 2007, the Energy & Infrastructure Group founded TCW Energy Partners, a feeder fund that invests in EIG-managed funds and projects and only accepts investments from institutional investors. It was listed on GSTrUE, a private exchange managed by Goldman Sachs. Barry Cheung was a director of the fund.
