Julian H. Robertson Jr. (born June 25, 1932) is an American billionaire former hedge fund manager. Now retired, Robertson invests directly in other hedge funds, most run by former employees of Robertson's defunct hedge fund company. Robertson was born in Salisbury, North Carolina. He founded the investment firm Tiger Management Corp., one of the earliest hedge funds. Robertson is credited with turning $8 million in start-up capital in 1980 into over $22 billion in the late 1990s, though that was followed by a fast downward spiral of investor withdrawals that ended with the fund closing in 2000. In 1993, his compensation and share of Tiger's gain exceeded $300 million. His 2003 estimated net worth was over $400 million, and in May 2015 it was estimated by ''Forbes'' at $3.4 billion.〔(Julian Robertson - Forbes ), Forbes.com. Accessed May 2015.〕 Robertson said in 2008 that he shorted subprime securities and made money through credit default swaps.〔(Tiger's Julian Robertson Roars Again ), Brian O'Keefe, ''Fortune'' Senior Editor, Jan. 28, 2008〕 The following year, according to ''Forbes'', Robertson's return on his $200 million personal trading account was 150 percent.〔 ==Early life== Robertson is the son of Julian Hart Robertson Sr., a textile company executive, and the former Blanche Spencer.〔(Julian Robertson: A Tiger in the Land of Bulls and Bears ), Daniel A. Strachman, Published by John Wiley and Sons, 2004, ISBN 0-471-32363-2〕 He graduated from Episcopal High School in 1951 and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1955. While at Chapel Hill, he was admitted to Zeta Psi fraternity. He then served as an officer in the U.S. Navy until 1957.〔Rowe.〕 After leaving the Navy, Robertson moved to New York City and worked for a time as a stockbroker for Kidder, Peabody & Co. At Kidder, he eventually headed up the firm's asset management division (Webster Securities) before departing to move with his family to New Zealand for a year to write a novel. On his return, in 1980 Robertson launched Tiger Management with initial investments from friends and family.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Julian Robertson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
