Tier One Investment Management

A pioneering global investment firm with roots from a family heritage.

Explore our philosophy

Managing in excess of US$2 billion in AUM, we invest in fast-growing companies across both public and private markets, with a portfolio diversity across different industry sectors, various investment life-cycles and over vast geographical locations.

In particular, we have a flavor for technology industries, which often require a combination of entrepreneurial agility, speed of capital deployment, and institutional rigor of a regulated investment firm, all of which are core elements to our investment philosophy.

We capitalize on under-identified opportunities to drive alpha, combined with the holding power of patient capital, to generate outsized returns. We seek out outliers, not chase quarterly returns, market hysteria or short-term value. We aim to serve investors across a wide range of needs and objectives, applying expertise from our heritage and past successes. Our seasoned executives aim to lead with integrity, with their deep understanding of the industry and their focus on client success.

Complementing Tier One Investment Management is our principal investment firm, Tier One Asset Management. For ultra-high risk opportunities that may require a longer incubation period or those that may otherwise possess an extraordinary level of volatility, we would seek to make direct investments in them, utilizing our own principal as well as the principals of those few investors who have such special risk appetite. The low level of capital deployment vis-à-vis the high level of potential return make these investment opportunities viable and attractive.

Our Story

Tier One Investment Management is regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) and Tier One Asset Management is an approved investment manager under the Securities and Business Act (SIBA) of the BVI.

With roots as a single-family office, our legacy continues to generate sustainable alpha with patient capital by investments based on innovation and organic growth. Today, we manage a diverse portfolio exceeding US$2 billion across public and private markets.

We focus on innovation across a broadly diversified set of investment strategies and asset classes, including alternative assets. We take substantial positions in companies where we see long-term potential, providing strategic capital while respecting existing management teams. We prefer management teams to consult with us as and when they would like to hear from seasoned investors, rather than taking up any form of active role on the board.

Our investments span technology, media, telecommunications, and digital infrastructure sectors, deployed at different stages of the investment life-cycle. We continue to seek under-the-radar opportunities where patient capital and strategic insight can unlock value across global markets.
