Julian Robertson

Tiger Management, 1980–2000 · Profile

Historical: the fund has closed. Holdings are from its SEC 13F filings for the last two years.

Julian Robertson founded Tiger Management in 1980 and made it one of the largest hedge funds in the world, buying good companies and shorting bad ones. After losses in 1998–99, when he refused to buy technology stocks, he returned outside money in 2000. Many of his analysts founded the 'Tiger cub' funds, such as Lone Pine, Viking and Tiger Global.

Holdings from Tiger’s 13F filings

Tiger’s funds were at their peak in 1998. In March 2000 Julian Robertson announced he was returning outside money, and these filings show the portfolio being sold down.

Q1 1999: 54 holdings worth $10bn, filed 17 May 1999 (filing).
