About Li Lu

Li Lu is the founder and chairman of Himalaya Capital, a multi-billion-dollar value investing firm he established in 1997 to manage long-term opportunities primarily in Asia and the U.S. He is widely recognized as a value investor and has been dubbed the "Chinese Warren Buffett" for his disciplined approach focused mainly on Asian companies, especially in China. Himalaya Capital typically invests in publicly traded securities rather than private venture stages, with its largest U.S. position being a $1 billion stake in Micron Technology and a top holding in Bank of America as of mid-2025. The firm manages approximately $18.5 billion in assets as of June 2021 and has reportedly generated a 30% compound annual return since 1998. Li Lu does not publicly disclose specific check sizes or lead/follow behavior, but his portfolio reflects concentrated, large-cap equity positions rather than diversified venture checks. A distinctive point of view is his deep alignment with Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger’s philosophy, and he co-founded The Asian American Foundation in 2021, serving as its chairman. He also authored the 1990 book *Moving the Mountai
