Viking Global Investors

Global investment firm founded in 1999 managing about $52bn across Public Equity, Private Equity, and Credit & Structured Capital through research-intensive fundamental investing.

Viking Global Investors is a global investment firm founded in 1999 that manages approximately $52 billion in assets across public and private markets. The firm deploys capital through three strategies - Public Equity, Private Equity, and Credit & Structured Capital - each grounded in a fundamentals-driven, research-intensive underwriting approach aimed at generating risk-adjusted returns. Its Private Equity strategy invests alongside a public equity platform spanning a wide spectrum of global opportunities and a credit and structured capital capability, giving deal teams multi-asset perspective on valuation, capital structures, and exit paths.

The firm employs more than 275 investment and operations professionals across offices in Stamford, Connecticut (headquarters), New York, San Francisco, London, and Hong Kong. Investment work is supported by dedicated capabilities in fundamental analysis, investment risk management, and compliance - the latter maintained since founding. Governance is reinforced by alignment: Viking is the largest investor in itself, aligning the firm's economics with those of its external investors.

Viking states that it is building an enduring asset management business, with an institutional emphasis on intellectual honesty, integrity, accountability, and continuous improvement rather than short-cycle deployment. Employees also engage in philanthropy through the Viking Global Foundation, which primarily supports early childhood education and development programs in the communities where the firm's staff live and work.
