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) ?
Utilize. LinkedIn. Thx
PE bud. MF PE, bud. APO/BX/KKR top aso, bud.
Can confirm, was headhunted by the ivory towers of Tiger Global Management when I was in the ivory towers of Apollo Advisors.
You're at Wells Fargo HR...
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?
.
Is Tiger that elite hmmm
Lol that’s stupid talent comes in every firm. Would rather hire a non target with a 3.0 who is hungry than some stuck up Ivy League/PE guy
If they’re so hungry why tf do they have a 3.0, especially at a shit school, and arent in PE? They havent done anything to prove themselves.
“Stuck up Ivy League/PE guy”. Lmao, non-targets have such a chip on their shoulder. Who do they think their coworkers are going to be?
I love the hypocrisy at the firm. Coleman didn't go to a target / Ivy school but demands that from others...nice.
A hungry guy only got into a non-target and is only maintaining Bs?
Go work at Apollo and you’re halfway there……….You’re welcome
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….
China exposure fucked them over and Docusign
They're making their massive returns on their private investments now, particularly the VC platform
Not really, you should expect them to lose more on private investments due to it being massively overvalued.
Sit this one out champ… Speak less, listen more
Eventually over time you'll learn that no matter you hire the Exeter -> H/S/W -> GS TMT -> MF PE guy, the market can always find a way to fuck you over every year.
HOF comment
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?
Nah they think they're hot shit when they've just been riding the beta of the tech sector
Conclusion: people working at Tiger are beta cucks.
definitely seems so. looks like this year is gonna be a good test to see if they can whether through it or not
Yeah, what a bunch of complete fucking losers. Riding beta all the way to consistent 8-digit annual paydays. Epic epic losers. Try working at TowerBrook or Reverence Capital and investing in a regional insurance MGO roll-up eeking out a 13% IRR. Now those guys… those guys fuck.
I don't think the TGM analysts and partners (other then the top 3 guys) are consistently seeing 8 figure annual paydays lol.
SB lmao - any idea what comp is actually like for juniors there? Say for those with 2yrs IB + 2yrs PE
The top 2 guys aren’t seeing consistent 8 figure paydays lol. They’re seeing consistent 9 figure paydays
Riiiight.
I mean it's common sense...no HF is paying analysts/less sr partners 8 figures consistently. Even if it's Tiger. Maybe last year some partners may have JUST broke 8 figures, but only because they were up 50%. Unless you have some anecdotal data pt
Mmmkay.
If you think otherwise let's hear it but you saying "mmmkay" and "riiiight" adds no value
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.
According to bloomberg, their hf was down 7% last year, their long only fund was down 4.2%
How big does ur shaft need to be work at these places?
7 inches - one for every % they lost this year
Wow imagine asking this last year around the same time. Everyone in comment section is just saying they are tech riders now haha. Really shows you how some people follow funds like a cult and immediately disband after one bad year of performance.
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)
