The Allegations and Response of Tiger Global
The podcast discusses the alleged anonymous note that threatened to expose Tiger Global, one of the largest private equity and hedge fund firms.

Additionally, regulators in the US were said to be investigating the firm for intentionally deleting internal emails related to fee manipulation. However, Tiger Global refuted the authenticity of the note and claimed it came from a disgruntled former employee. This incident sheds light on the challenges the firm has been facing.
The Rise and Fall of Tiger Global
The podcast traces the history of Tiger Global, from its origins as the successor to Julian Robertson's Tiger Management to becoming a prominent player in private equity. The firm's strategy evolved from Robertson's focus on undervalued stocks to aggressive investing in companies with potential. Tiger Global's success attracted significant investments, but it also faced criticism for distorting the market and unethical practices. The firm suffered substantial losses during the tech stock crash, and its reputation further declined due to allegations of inflating valuations. The podcast explores how changes in investor sentiment and a trust deficit among limited partners pose challenges for Tiger Global's future.
