A while back a reader asked me what hedge funds would he recommend to start his hedge fund career? Now, at risk on fan boyism, I suggest any of the Tiger Cubs (of Julian Robertson fame). For those not in the know, Tiger Management Version 1.0, i.e Julian Robertson’s original hedge fund spawned a number of fantastic hedge fund managers that have racked up impressive returns. Tiger Management Version 2.0, housed at 101 Park Avenue, is a number of fund that Julian has seeded. Some are still small and some are very large. And a number of them have been VERY successful. While working at a Tiger Cub hedge fund won’t guarantee you success in the hedge fund universe, it is obviously a good start. With the help of Bloomberg, Google, and a couple of friends that have too much time on their hands, here is our attempt at recreating the Julian Robertson Tiger Cub “family tree” (Read it as such…Hedge Fund Name – Founder / Portfolio Manager)…
