Tiger Global Management - Recruitment

Realistically how would someone break into a highly elite secretive fund such as Tiger Global management?

Their hiring process isn’t exactly formal and I know they are engaging in a various of VC deals now.

What area of finance are most of their analysts recruited from (PE,IB,VC ect) ?

From linkedin:

5 BX PE analysts 

5 APO associates 

2 BX associates 

1 Silverlake analyst, Silverlake associate, CD&R, Berkshire, Elliot

0 hires out of banking/consulting, but for those who didn't start at MF PE (which, somewhat surprisingly, is 50%+ of the team), they came from PJT RSSG (2?) and ~1 from each of GS/MS/JPM/3G

To answer your question, with MF PE taking the top 10-15 kids each year, its not crazy that a fund like Tiger is looking mostly at that pool of candidates. Otherwise, as someone else said, be a top associate at APO/BX/KKR if you want a shot.

 

What is comp/hours like at tiger if its this competitive to get a role there?

 

How did Tiger only manage to return 3% this past year given the accredited backgrounds of their employees? In a relatively nice market for tech too….

 

They're making their massive returns on their private investments now, particularly the VC platform

 

Aren't total returns up like 80% due to their private capital investments?

 

The fund realizes that the current market is overvaluing in late-stage and there is tremendous opportunity in getting in late-stage, attracting more funding from other people who see the big name "Tiger Global", and making bank after IPO.  Worst case scenario they can sell some of their shares to other private investors after a few stages of funding.

 

this is kinda of a retarded question, but looking at their 13f do they invest in anything besides tech cuz they only have a few non-tech names?

 

definitely seems so. looks like this year is gonna be a good test to see if they can whether through it or not

 

SB lmao - any idea what comp is actually like for juniors there? Say for those with 2yrs IB + 2yrs PE

 
Controversial

You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about and yet think making some stupidly uninformed assertion/rebuttals to fact and punctuating it with “I think” or “if you have an anecdote to suggest otherwise” adds any value whatsoever?

It’s clear that your opinion on the matter has about the same insight as that of a random Uber driver.

You literally know nothing, lack even the basic intellect to form an education guess, and haven’t yet learned when to listen instead of speak… yet you’re going around claiming your obviously wrong opinion is common sense and others are adding no value.

To spell it out for you, my initial statement was correct. (1) They are consistently making 8-digit payouts; (2) You are an abject moron; (3) The Sun is hot.

 

The funny thing is what's going to happen is they will probably get shafted when the cycle turns (I'm not a doomsday sayer but eventually it will happen). And when they do they will go from the highest generating hedge fund in dollar terms (I think there was an article somewhere that calculated they generated 10bn for investors) to probably a net money loser in aggregate dollar terms. All the momentum chasing investors piling on into TG late cycle will probably get smoked (see ARKK)
