Transwestern Investment Group

What Transwestern Investment Group does

Transwestern Investment Group (TIG) is an independent commercial real estate investment management firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, operating as part of the broader Transwestern family of companies (founded 1978). The firm manages approximately $8 billion in assets on an inception-to-date basis, serving public pension funds, insurance companies, and high-net-worth investors through a diversified mix of discretionary closed-end funds (the Transwestern Strategic Partners Fund series, with Fund III closing at $325 million in October 2022) and separately managed accounts. Investment strategies span the risk spectrum from core to value-add, with execution concentrated in industrial, multifamily, office, retail, and healthcare assets across major U.S. markets, and an integrated operating platform that draws on affiliate Transwestern companies' 35 U.S. offices and an international development company.

TIG's core product set consists of closed-end real estate funds, separately managed accounts, and a proprietary Investment Analytics Platform that combines external and proprietary datasets with iterative machine learning and AI models for market evaluation, underwriting, and portfolio management. Senior investment leadership averages 25-plus years of real estate experience, and the firm has built dedicated research, capital markets, and sector-specialized functions (notably healthcare properties). Capital is raised exclusively through direct institutional field-sales relationships, and offerings are distributed via confidential private placement memorandums rather than public pricing.

Revenue is generated primarily through investment advisory and asset management fees on funds and separately managed accounts, with management fees as the base stream and performance fees/carried interest on realized fund returns as a supplementary component. All investor relationships are managed through direct institutional sales, supported by a secure investor portal and a website-driven top-of-funnel presence. The firm is privately held under the Transwestern umbrella, with no public ticker, and reports an employee base in the 11–50 range, consistent with a focused, high-revenue-per-employee asset management model.
