Description:

Tiger Global is a fundamentally-oriented, global investment firm. The Firm deploys capital in two businesses - private equity partnerships and public equity funds. Tiger Global's private equity partnerships have ten-year horizons and invest in growth companies in the global Internet and technology sectors. The Firm's public equity funds focus on long-term trends in the technology, telecom, media, retail and consumer sectors. Tiger Global was founded in 2001 and is based in New York. Tiger Global had $6.2 billion in hedge-fund assets as of July 1, 2013, according to hedge-fund publication Absolute Return. The firm managed $11.2 billion including both hedge and private-equity funds as of January 1, 2013, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The hedge fund was an early investor in Facebook, and sold its stake in 2013 for an estimated $1 billion. According to Wikipedia, the venture capital section of Tiger Global is key to the firm's success. Much of this success is attributable to investments in the technology sector, especially in areas like private Internet companies such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Zynga, as well as investments across global markets. In January 2015, Tiger introduced Tiger Global Internet Opportunities, which specifically focuses on investments in the Internet, and has already grown to an estimated $2.3 billion after beginning with $700 million in capital.
