The Tall Trees Story
Our journey began with a clear vision: to address the pressing need for a pragmatic and holistic approach to investing in the energy transition.
As the world faces the dual challenges of rising CO₂ emissions and growing energy demand, there will be clear winners and losers across the entire value chain. Finding these requires a wider lens.
Founded in 2019, Tall Trees Capital Management, LP is dedicated to investing in this structural megatrend.
Our Visionary Founder
Lisa Audet
Founder & CIO
After working for more than a decade at one of the top global macro hedge funds in the world, Lisa Audet felt a desire to start something new, as she had done many times in her career.
Lisa’s life-long willingness to step into the unknown was grounded in a global perspective acquired from many years of living and working overseas in South America, Europe and Africa and by 30+ years of investment experience across a diverse range of assets and industries.
Driven by her prior success in energy investing, she founded Tall Trees Capital to invest in some of the most compelling opportunities represented by the secular, multi-decade themes found in the energy transition.
Lisa has an undergraduate degree in International Studies from The American University. Additionally, she served in the U.S. Peace Corps and is fluent in Portuguese.
An Impressive Track Record
Founding Tall Trees Capital Management, LP in 2019 was a logical next step for Lisa, after many years of managing significant energy and commodity investments at a global long/short investment manager.
More specifically, from 2014 to 2018, Lisa was identifying and managing an annual average of $1.2B in energy and commodity investments at Discovery Capital Management. She worked for 12 years at the firm, which was founded by Rob Citrone, a Tiger Cub.
Earlier in her career, while at Hartford Investment Management, Lisa analyzed high-grade and high-yield corporate bond investments across multiple sectors. Prior to that, Lisa spent nine years with HSBC, including six years managing a representative office for HSBC Equator Bank in Mozambique.
In light of her vast, varied, and successful career path, Lisa has been recognized as an investment industry leader by Bloomberg and Forbes.
