“We are excited to officially launch Tigris Investments offering our multifaceted strategies and opportunities to the investment community,” says Jimmy Ly. “The current over-commercialized approach to investment products globally has led to a high concentration of assets in large universal providers.

The company is made up of highly talented individuals with a strong track record and a shared culture of execution and client centricity, the state said. The Uruguay office is led by Tigris’ Regional Partner Paulina Esposito as Head of Latin America Retail channel, along with colleague and Partner Ana Diaz who will be Head of Global Marketing. Peter Stockall, based in Miami, as Head of Sales US Offshore and Manuel Cortina, in Mexico City, as Mexico Country Head.
Tigris Investments immediate value proposition will be to launch three verticals;, distribution, technology and consultancy, the firm said. Each vertical will have a comprehensive range of strategies managed by highly specialized partners, and internally developed capabilities including, independently managed, MaterFunds which will provide a mutual fund quantitative comparative and portfolio building tool & MaterInvest which is a specialized creative content building and consultancy service for asset and wealth managers.
