Chase Coleman, hedge fund manager and founder of Tiger Global Management, has taken a large blow to his portfolio. In the first four months of 2022, Tiger Global's main strategy was down roughly 44%.

This has led to a reduction of $16 billion from its assets under management in the first four months of 2022, Bloomberg reported.
