"Billionaire Andreas Halvorsen will soon lose another longtime lieutenant. Stuart Brown, the longtime head of trading for Viking Global, is stepping down from the $55 billion asset manager to take a career break, two people familiar with the move told Business Insider. The firm declined to comment, and Brown could not be reached for comment. Brown was at the long-running Tiger Cub, a nickname for hedge funds that spun out of late billionaire Julian Robertson's Tiger Management, for 18 years."
"Viking has lost several senior members of its team in recent years, which now numbers 275 employees, according to the firm's site. From the investing side, Ning Jin, the former chief investment officer of Viking, left the firm in August 2024 to start his own fund, Avantyr Capital. On the operations side of the business, the firm's former general counsel, Andrew Genser, joined former Viking portfolio manager Divya Nettimi's fund, Avala Global, last summer."
Stuart Brown is stepping down as head of trading at Viking Global, a $55 billion hedge fund, to take a career break after 18 years at the firm. He joined Viking after working on the corporate credit sales desk at Credit Suisse. Brown will assist during a transition period, and his official departure date is not yet known. Viking employs about 275 people and has seen several senior departures recently, including Ning Jin, Andrew Genser, Kevin Curtis, and Savina Boyadjieva. Viking returned 8.6%, trailing the market and many Tiger Cub peers, and is less tech-heavy than some competitors.
