Julian Hart Robertson Jr. KNZM was an American billionaire hedge fund manager, and philanthropist. Robertson invested in other hedge funds, mostly those run by former employees of his own defunct hedge fund company, Tiger Management.
The Tiger cubs manage around 50 of the world’s top hedge funds, including Stephen Mandel’s Lone Pine, Ole Andreas Halvorsen’s Viking, Rob Citrone’s Discovery Capital Management, Philippe Laffont of Coatue Management, Lee Ainslie of Maverick Capital and Chase Coleman III of Tiger Global Management. He was a signatory of The Giving Pledge.
Robertson founded Tiger Management, one of the earliest hedge funds. Robertson is credited with turning $8 million in start-up capital in 1980 into over $22 billion in the late 1990s, though that was followed by a rapid downward spiral of investor withdrawals that ended with the fund closing in 2000.
