Tony Kim
The Strategist
The long view, patient, analytical, playing several moves ahead.
Tony Kim reads as The Strategist because his self-described deconstructionist method resembles ancient cartography, charting every node of the AI value chain, from chips to robotics, before committing a dollar of capital. His preference for multi-year conviction over quarterly drift marks a leader who steers by fixed analytical stars rather than prevailing market winds. At BlackRock, that domain expertise operates as a navigational instrument, filtering sector noise until only the durable signal remains.
“I'm a deconstructionist. I like to map everything out — like the ancient mariners would say, all the oceans, you'd want a map of where you're navigating to. I break technology down into five or six major sub sectors and continually deconstruct.”
“Once you see that whole chain and how AI gets diffused — from chips to servers to clouds to power to software to robots — and you've already built maps of every single one of these ecosystems, then you say, is it worth investing?”
“If we were to continually shift by the wind every quarter, you kind of lose your soul of what you stand for. Our decisions are born out of domain expertise and analytical rigor, expressed on a multi-year basis.”
