Julian Hart Robertson Jr. KNZM (June 25, 1932 – August 23, 2022) was an American hedge fund manager, and philanthropist.
Robertson founded Tiger Management, one of the first hedge funds, in 1980. From its inception in 1980 to its 1998 asset peak, his fund returned 31.7% per year after fees, compared to a 12.7% annual return from the S&P 500 over the same period. However, a sharp decline thereafter led to the fund closing in March 2000. Tiger showed losses in only four of its 21 years.[1] Robertson later mentored and provided seed funding to many notable hedge fund managers, known as the Tiger cubs, including Ole Andreas Halvorsen, Stephen Mandel of Lone Pine Capital, Lee Ainslie of Maverick Capital, Bill Hwang, and Chase Coleman III.[2]
During his lifetime, Robertson contributed more than US$2 billion to charity. He was also a signatory to The Giving Pledge.[1] At the time of his death, his net worth was estimated at $4.8 billion.[3]
