RAJ RAJARATNAM
Galleon Group

Technology Sector Bottom-Up Research

Raj Rajaratnam differs from most of the other superstar managers in that he focuses specifically on the technology sector and does not use leverage at all.

Assets under management have grown rapidly in the past several years. Assets now stand at $5 billion versus $1 billion in 1998. Galleon Group closed to new investors on April 1, 2000, and to existing investors on June 30, 2000. The funds, however, are open to strategic investors (i.e., executives of technology companies and health care companies).
