Current first-party materials identify:

• Founder Portfolio Manager: Philippe Laffont

Assessment

Coatue is a lifecycle technology investor rather than a single hedge-fund strategy.

Its current platform spans public equity, venture, growth and tactical capital.

The clean manager-level access treatment is:

• regulatory AUM = $92.7B;
• comparable current first-party firm AUM: not disclosed;
• private-fund universal minimum: not disclosed;
• CTEK $50K/$1M minimums = separate registered-fund terms.

That separation prevents the most likely consumer-facing error in the review.
