Tiger Pacific Capital, an Asia-focused long/short equity hedge fund manager, was founded in November 2012. The firm pursues its investment objectives through a fundamental-driven approach to equity selection, employing a rigorous bottom-up research process. It focuses on both long and short-term investments in Asia-related equities and operates from headquarters in New York with an additional office in Hong Kong.
Founded by Run Ye, Junji Takegami, and Hoyon Hwang, Tiger Pacific Capital traces its roots back to Tiger Asia Management, a notable $1.2 billion fund based in New York. Tiger Asia Management ceased operations in August amid regulatory scrutiny in Hong Kong. The founders were mentored and supported by billionaire hedge fund manager Julian Robertson, known for fostering some of the industry's leading talents.
As of March 2024, Tiger Pacific Capital manages $1.48 billion in discretionary assets for three clients. Their Q1 2024 13F filing reported $430.60 million in managed securities, with a top 10 holdings concentration of 96.11%. The firm's largest holding is ZTO Express Cayman Inc ADR, with 4,959,885 shares.
