Tian Capital LLC

Tian Capital LLC is a small, fee-only investment manager that provides discretionary portfolio management primarily to individual and high‑net‑worth investors, using publicly traded securities as the main investment vehicles. The firm offers equity-focused strategies — value, growth, and event‑driven — and allows clients to impose written restrictions on specific securities or types of securities.

The firm’s investment process is fundamentally driven, relying on financial statement analysis, competitive assessment, and event evaluation to build medium‑ to long‑term positions for value and growth mandates and shorter‑term long or short positions for event‑driven opportunities. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis, with trade aggregation through a single custodian to facilitate execution, and the firm generally does not tailor services beyond client‑specified restrictions.

What is noteworthy relative to many peers is Tian Capital’s documented use of leverage and derivative instruments (including borrowing for short sales and derivatives exposure) within separately managed accounts, and its explicit focus on serving both non‑HNW individual clients and high‑net‑worth individuals despite being an investment manager category that often handles pooled or institutional mandates. The firm is small and centrally managed by its principal, invests the principal’s capital alongside client accounts, and offers performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients under a defined high‑water‑mark framework.
