Maverick Capital is an American hedge fund firm. It was founded by Lee Ainslie in 1993, who was a "Tiger Cub" under Julian Robertson at Tiger Management.[2]

It primarily invests in shares (avoiding bonds, commodities, currencies, and options), holding both long and short positions and buying what it thinks will beat the market.[3] It employs fundamental analysis and examines management closely. It examines companies for "good capital-allocation decisions", and especially how incremental returns on invested capital compare to the cost of capital.[4]
