Sean Lee

Sean Lee has spent his life between markets in Malaysia, Korea, and the United States, and built his edge in the space between them. The opportunities that defined his record were the ones local investors were too close to judge clearly and global funds were too far to reach.

His approach was shaped by working alongside some of the most talented investors in the industry, and taking something from each. He trained in equities at Citadel's Surveyor Capital in TMT, then as an analyst at Triveni Capital, a long/short fund founded by a former Point72 and D.E. Shaw portfolio manager, after early mentorship from Tiger Cub alumni. Over more than a decade, he distilled those influences, Citadel's rigor, the long/short discipline of the Point72 and D.E. Shaw lineage, and a value foundation, into a single framework of his own. As CIO of a global concentrated equity fund, he put it to work, running a book that returned 29% at a 2.4 Sharpe ratio and building the investment team.

Having been directly involved in the AI epicenter, Sean also brings deep-standing tech experience in the new generation of investing. At SK, he leads corporate development on a multibillion-dollar co-investment in AI data-center infrastructure, working directly with the principals behind the compute, memory, and power that the technology runs on, evaluating capex per watt, utilization, and the economics that decide which projects actually earn their return. He has advised SemiAnalysis on high-bandwidth memory, building capacity models and forecasting HBM pricing, and at Naver oversaw a $200M venture portfolio spanning AI, robotics, and cloud. It is a vantage point on the AI supply chain that few public-market investors have, and it directly informed the semiconductor theses at the core of his track record, from TSMC to Samsung to Broadcom.

That operating depth extends beyond technology, through private-equity underwriting and TMT banking at Citi. As an undergraduate he managed the Emory Endowment, raised capital from a BlackRock CIO, and was featured on Bloomberg for the portfolio's performance.

He holds an MBA from Columbia Business School, where he completed the Value Investing Program and led the Investment Ideas Club, and a BBA from Emory. He has passed Level II of both the CFA and CAIA programs.
