The Outfitter principals were the founding members and managers of TPH Partners, the legacy private equity business of energy investment bank Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co.  Outfitter was formed in December 2016, and the team continues to manage the predecessor TPH Partners funds today along with the first Outfitter fund established in September 2022. ​

​

Outfitter firmly believes the relationship with its management teams is a key driver of value creation and seeks to partner with motivated and skilled people.  The “right team” possesses local knowledge of its target operations area and a mix of experience, judgment and skill sets to prosecute its business plan.  And of course, high moral character and excellent alignment are bedrocks in our decision to create a partnership.

​

We understand that management teams must choose to partner with us as well.  Outfitter strives to be a value-added partner, not just a checkbook, by leveraging our relationships, industry knowledge, and commercial and financial skills to facilitate a successful outcome for all.  We believe that a collaborative partnership is a powerful determinant in creating value together.
