JAT Capital Management

What JAT Capital Management does

JAT Capital Management LP is an independent, SEC-registered alternative investment management firm founded by John A. Thaler in July 2020 and headquartered at 24 Field Point Road, 2nd Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut. The firm operates a single-product strategy: actively managed long/short equity portfolios constructed through a fundamental, bottom-up, thesis-oriented investment process combined with active risk management at the portfolio, security, and factor levels.

The firm concentrates its research and capital deployment across the Telecom, Media, Technology, Consumer, Travel, Leisure, and Gaming sectors on a global basis, targeting high absolute returns over a long-term horizon while maintaining relatively low net exposure. Its product is delivered through three wholly-owned fund vehicles — JAT Capital Domestic Fund LP, JAT Capital Offshore Fund Ltd, and JAT Capital Master Fund LP — with JAT Capital GP LLC serving as general partner, providing access to both U.S. and non-U.S. investors.

JAT generates revenue through management fees on assets under management and performance fees (carried interest) typical of alternative asset management structures. Distribution is relationship-driven and direct: investor relations, media, and careers inquiries route through dedicated email channels, and pricing is individually negotiated with institutional and qualified investors. The firm maintains a community-involvement program supporting multiple nonprofit organizations, which reflects founder-level values rather than commercial partnerships. Current AUM, revenue, and investor identities are not publicly disclosed.
