What Tiger Global Management does

Tiger Global Management, LLC is a privately held, New York–headquartered SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2001 by Chase Coleman, originally named Tiger Technology, with early backing from Julian Robertson's Tiger Management. The firm operates two principal business lines: a Public Equity business offering fundamentally oriented long/short, long-focused, and crossover strategies targeting high-quality public growth companies, and a Private Equity business that invests from early through late-stage in innovative companies across more than 30 countries, with more than 90 portfolio company IPOs to date. Since 2003, Tiger Global has unified these two businesses through the crossover investing model it pioneered, allowing it to participate across both public and private markets throughout a company's lifecycle from venture stage through and beyond IPO.

Revenue is generated through management fees on assets under management and performance fees (typically 20% of profits) on hedge fund returns. As of 2026, the firm manages approximately $50 billion in total AUM (with the flagship hedge fund at roughly $30 billion), serves institutional LPs (pensions, endowments, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and HNIs) through direct relationships, and sources deals through a founder-led, relationship-based approach rather than traditional marketing channels. Its portfolio spans flagship consumer and enterprise technology names such as Facebook, LinkedIn, JD.com, Spotify, Uber, Stripe, Palantir, Snowflake, and Mercado Libre, alongside a deepening AI infrastructure book that includes OpenAI, Databricks, Waymo, Cerebras, Scale AI, ByteDance, Sierra, and Temporal.

Underlying the firm's investment process is a research-driven platform that combines fundamental industry and company-specific research, data, and analytics with pattern recognition across successive technology platform shifts (internet, mobile, cloud, AI). Distribution is concentrated: a single New York headquarters at 9 West 57th Street, direct deal sourcing with founders and CEOs, and direct institutional LP relationships supported by an investor portal at tigerglobal.com. Notable 2026 events include a -10.5% Q1 flagship drawdown followed by a +15% April rebound, an active deployment pace across AI, robotics, fintech, and developer tools, and an adverse Indian Supreme Court ruling in January 2026 on Flipkart exit taxes that materially raised tax exposure on cross-border structures.
