I want to share with you findings of the 54 new funds added to my fund database compared March 2025 data, when it was launched.

Here's what stood out.

Before we dive in, I am waiting on March's regulatory filings to be posted (don't know when they are), then I will update the AUM figures for all the long-onlys and notify you all.

Lineage

The Tiger lineage remains the largest group, accounting for 12 of the 54 additions. For context, my definition of Tiger lineage is any fund whose founder previously worked at a Tiger Cub (e.g., Coatue, Lone Pine) or Tiger Grandcub (e.g., D1) hedge fund.

Viking Global produced two additions.
