Investor Details Founded: 1999
Viking Global Investors is a Connecticut-based hedge fund founded in 1999 by CEO and risk manager Ole Andreas Halvorsen, along with Brian T. Olson and David C. Ott. The firm specializes in long-short equity, long-only equity, and private equity strategies, managing over $53 billion in assets as of June 30, 2025. Viking has offices in Greenwich, New York, Hong Kong, London, and San Francisco, and is known for its research-intensive, long-term investment approach.
The firm has a history of significant investments, including a $526 million stake in Boeing in February 2025 and increased holdings in financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Charles Schwab. In August 2023, Viking reopened its flagship long/short hedge fund to new capital after a decade-long closure, reflecting its commitment to adapting to market conditions and investor needs. Viking's investment strategy emphasizes fundamental analysis, sector specialization, and a decentralized approach to stock selection, aiming to deliver high risk-adjusted returns for its investors.
