Tiger Global hit by $17bn losses in tech rout

Hedge fund suffers ‘breathtaking’ drop as speculative stocks sink from pandemic peaks

Tiger Global has been hit by losses of around $17bn during this year’s technology stock sell-off, marking one of the biggest dollar declines for a hedge fund in history.

The run of poor performance means the firm — one of the world’s biggest hedge funds and a big investor in high-growth, speculative companies whose shares have tumbled since their pandemic peaks — has in four months erased around two-thirds of its gains since its launch in 2001, according to calculations by LCH Investments.
