NEW YORK, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Tyrian Investments LP, the hedge fund manager backed by Julian Robertson's Tiger Management LLC, is shutting down, according to a person familiar with the situation.

New York-based Tyrian, founded in January 2010 by Orlando Muyshondt, is focused on stock investments. Muyshondt did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesman for Tiger declined to comment.

Tyrian managed $535.4 million in regulatory assets as of Dec. 31, 2015, according to a public disclosure. Such filings can exaggerate the actual capital managed because of leverage and other factors.
