Chase Coleman (Trades, Portfolio), founder of Tiger Global Management, revealed a reduction of his holding in Sunrun Inc. (RUN, Financial) by 16.87% according to GuruFocus' Real-Time Picks.
The New York-based company utilizes strategies that Coleman learned from Tiger Management founder Julian Robertson (Trades, Portfolio). Team members focus investments primarily in small-cap and technology stocks, but they also have an eye out for early- to late-stage venture, post-initial public offering and secondary market equities that fall within their requirements.

On Oct. 1, the guru sold 5.02 million shares, which were trading for an average price of $79.97 on the day of the transaction. Overall, the sale had a -1.56% impact on the portfolio and GuruFocus estimates the total gain of the holding at 503.82%.
