Julian Robertson
is considered the father of hedge funds. He started his hedge
fund Tiger Management in 1980 with $8 million, and built the fund
all the way to $22 billion in the late 1990s. But his investing
philosophy prevented him from participating the tech bubble. He
kept losing money in and dissolved his fund. Mr. Robertson also
mentored a group of young hedge fund managers, known as the
"Tiger Cubs." A number of them became extremely successful hedge
fund managers in their own right, including
John Griffin
of Blue Ridge Capital,
Lee Ainslie
of Maverick Capital,
Andreas Halvorsen
of Viking Global, and Steve Mandel of Lone Pine Capital. They are
also included in our List of Gurus.
Today Tiger Management only manages fund from internal
investment, mainly Mr. Robertson's own money.
We have observed that he is buying into beaten down financials
AIG and JPMorgan (
JPM
), but selling out Goldman Sachs. Apple (
AAPL
) is still his largest position at 16.4% of his portfolio and he
is heavy with tech stocks. As of 06/30/2012, Tiger Management
owns 31 stocks with a total value of $359 million. These are the
details of the buys and sells that have the impact to portfolio
of more than 1%.
