HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Dan Pickering, former President of Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Company (TPH) and Chief Investment Officer of TPH Asset Management (a division of Perella Weinberg Partners Capital Management (PWPCM)), today announced the creation of Pickering Energy Partners LP (PEP) via a spin-out of all remaining energy asset management strategies of PWPCM. On behalf of its clients, PEP will seek to continue capitalizing on opportunities in the energy sector that have arisen from the ongoing five-year cyclical correction.
“This spin out into an employee-owned firm will allow us to continue to develop energy investment strategies and related businesses that can take advantage of energy market opportunities for our clients,” stated Dan Pickering, Chief Investment Officer. “My PEP partner Walker Moody and I have assembled a team over the past decade with a strong entrepreneurial mindset, which is critical for attacking opportunities during energy’s cyclical corrections, expansions and transitions.”
With this launch, PEP carries over TPH’s remaining energy asset management strategies, a newly capitalized balance sheet, and will seek to expand its offerings where its expertise and network can enhance clients’ energy investments. PEP will remain in its current downtown Houston offices and will maintain a relationship with the investment banking and research principals of TPH. TPH’s Bobby Tudor and Maynard Holt are among the investor group in PEP and will serve on PEP’s Advisory Board. Dan Pickering will also become a Senior Advisor to TPH.
PEP specializes in both public and private equity energy-focused strategies designed to target strong risk-adjusted returns. The company expects to continue its current platform of energy funds and investment vehicles, and is considering launching a new suite of real asset-focused strategies later this year.
