Hedge fund giant Tiger Global Management has taken it on the chin so far in 2022, with its main strategy down 44% in the first four months of the year, according to a Bloomberg report.

Tiger Global's long-only fund experienced an even worse decline, falling 25% in April alone for a year-to-date loss of 52%, according to Bloomberg. The sizable decline has led to a $16 billion reduction in assets under management. The hedge fund managed $46 billion at the start of the year, according to data from Whale Wisdom.

In an investor letter seen by Bloomberg, Tiger Global told clients that "Markets have not been cooperative given the macroeconomic backdrop, but we do not believe in excuses and so will not offer any." That macroeconomic backdrop includes rising inflation and higher interest rates, which has led to a year-to-date sell-off of about 20% for the Nasdaq 100.

All-in, the disastrous performance means the hedge fund is on track for its worst year ever since it was founded in 2001. Prior to this year's decline, Tiger Global had a strong reputation of delivering consistent outperformance relative to the S&P 500 while notching only two down years since its inception, according to Bloomberg.

These are Tiger Global's top 10 holdings at the start of 2022 that likely contributed to the hedge fund's sizable decline so far this year, according to data from Whale Wisdom. The data is as of December 31, 2021, and there is no telling if Tiger Global sold out of these positions until they file their next 13F later this month.
