The Tiger 21 report, which is designed to highlight Members’ favorite investments, found that the group showed a marked preference toward real estate. The report explained the preference by stating, “many Members have created their wealth in this space, understand it, and continue to invest in an area they know well.” Stocks were the next most popular.

Hedge Funds Made the Tiger 21 List

Hedge funds were the third most popular investment amongst Tiger 21 members. They accounted for 12% of Member portfolios. It was the highest level hedge funds had seen since 2007. The top hedge fund managers were some of our favorites too – Paul Singer, Robert Zoellner, Kyle Bass, Israel Englander, Norman Miller, Richard Dowdle, David Einhorn, Andreas Halvorsen and John Paulson. According to Reuters, “the group voted Paul Singer, an outspoken investment manager who founded $17 billion Elliott Management, as the best of its “Top 10 Favorite Investment Managers”. There is little discussion why Elliott, which has long treated investors to double-digit returns, beat out the others and Singer himself is named only once.”
