Tigris Financial Group

What they do

Tigris Financial Group Ltd. serves as the private investment vehicle for Thomas S. Kaplan, an Oxford-educated historian and one of the world's most prominent gold bulls. The firm, alongside its registered investment adviser affiliate The Electrum Group LLC, focuses exclusively on the natural resources sector, specifically precious metals, base metals, and hydrocarbons. Known for taking highly concentrated, long-term macroeconomic bets, the firm has built a formidable reputation for identifying world-class mining assets and partnering with major operators. Tigris and Electrum are distinctive for their deep geological and technical domain expertise, often taking massive stakes in junior miners and guiding them through exploration and development.

What they look for

The firm applies a macroeconomic and historical perspective to forecast developing market trends, focusing on strategic investments in high-quality precious metals assets (gold, silver) and certain base metals (copper, nickel, zinc) to achieve long-term, after-tax returns. Kaplan’s core thesis is rooted in the belief that global economic and geopolitical instability will drive a secular, long-term bull market for gold and silver as premier stores of value.
