As Inatai Investment Management Company’s newest Portfolio Manager, Andrew Lin serves as a generalist investment professional at Inatai Investment Management Company, a subsidiary of Inatai Foundation, reporting directly to the Chief Investment Officer. The company offers investment management services on a cost-sharing, rather than for-profit, basis to partners with shared values and long-term commitments to advancing equity and racial justice in Washington.
Andrew brings to Inatai his 12 years of experience in investment banking, private equity investing, and most recently, public equity investing with Himalaya Capital based in Seattle. He has a passion for creating positive impact through investing—a skill set that he honed through attending a sustainable finance and investment program at Yale University, receiving a Certificate in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investing from the CFA Institute, and receiving a certificate in sustainable management from Duke University. Additionally, Andrew holds a Master of Business Administration (Value Investing Program) from Columbia Business School, and he is a CFA Charterholder with both a Washington CPA license and its equivalent in the U.K.
Andrew enjoys running and hiking with his wife and reading—not to mention investing in the education of the next generation. Andrew translated seven investment books from English to Chinese, both for his own learning and to benefit Chinese investors. Additionally, Andrew founded an alumni association at his undergraduate college dedicated to addressing the needs of students seeking to advance their education domestically and abroad.
