Description
A Remarkable Tell-All Offers Unique Views of Chinese and American Cultures
Junheng Li’s upbringing mirrors the rise of China. Born in Shanghai to “tiger” parents who were survivors of China’s brutal Cultural Revolution, Li learned the value of discipline, education and sacrifice. She was raised to believe that success was not an option but a necessity, and succeed she has. Today Li is a Wall Street success, principal in her own equity research firm, JL Warren Capital, LLC, advising institutional investors on Chinese companies and multinationals in China.
Li’s fascinating memoir, TIGER WOMAN ON WALL STREET is an intimate account of her unique journey, from a Chinese upbringing to a successful career in the male-dominated world of Wall Street.
Li came to the U.S. in 1996, lured by the country’s limitless possibilities—something that China does not offer its citizens. While studying at Middlebury College in Vermont, Li learned that American values are not based on clichés of freedom and individuality, but on the importance of an independent mind and the courage to question the norm. After graduating from Middlebury with honors in Economics, she moved to New York City, where the lessons in competition and hard work she learned at the knee of her tiger father allowed her to excel in the finance world.
But TIGER WOMAN ON WALL STREET also reveals and openly discusses the dark side and costs of “tiger parenting,” and a singular focus on achievement. After devoting everything to her professional life, Li suffered a heart-breaking divorce that taught her the importance of balance. In the book, she offers lessons that all women can take to heart in work and in life: a strong mind, perseverance, and the courage to think differently. Her conclusion is that one’s vision (for herself) and determination is far more important than one’s background, race or gender. As her father told her, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
This autobiographical tell-all offers a critical review of Chinese and American comparative cultures and economies, as seen through the eyes of a remarkable and complex individual.
Junheng Li (New York, NY) runs the independent equity research firm, JL Warren Capital LLC, to advise institutional asset managers on investing in small- to mid-capitalization companies both in the U.S. and China. She was previously senior equity analyst at Aurarian Capital Management.
A Note From the Publisher

Advance Praise
“In this business memoir, Li
traces her journey from her childhood in Shanghai to her career on Wall Street,
crediting much of her success to her strict Chinese parents.”--Publishers Weekly
"Junheng Li is one of the most astute market analysts I have met in my long career. Her healthy skepticism of China's inevitable rise to economic and market supremacy is refreshing, and her razor-sharp analysis of Chinese equities is as compelling as the story of her own journey from the streets of Shanghai to Wall Street." -- Ron Insana, CNBC contributor
"Tiger Woman on Wall Street is a fascinating read on a subject that couldn't be more timely. A must-read for Western (and Chinese) investors and businesspeople interested in China." -- Jim Chanos, President/Founder, Kynikos Associates
"We can all learn a lot about finance and investing from Tiger Woman on Wall Street. Through brains, honesty, and grit, Li has thrived on Wall Street by applying the investigative and analytical skills she learned in China, and this terrific book shows how she did it." -- Karen Finerman, Cofounder and President of Metropolitan Capital Advisers and author of Finerman's Rules
"While alpha males have long dominated Wall Street, now comes a Tiger Woman who may very well eat their lunch in the ultracompetitive world of stock market research. This book tells her extraordinary story and many of her investing secrets." -- Minggao Shen, Chief Economist for Greater China, Citigroup
"A profound exploration of the heart and mind of modern-day China. With passionate and penetrating prose, Junheng Li expertly uses her remarkable personal story to illuminate the complexities of China's great economic opportunities--and even greater risks." -- Deborah Davis, bestselling author of Strapless, Gilded, and Party of the Century
"There is no question that Junheng Li is an incisive analyst with a unique perspective on some of the defining international and market issues of our times. Tiger Woman on Wall Street demonstrates this in every chapter. But what is especially remarkable is how she uses her own compelling personal story to both add a human dimension to those issues that brings them to life and adds credence to her reliably sound market insights. She is allergic to hype and superficiality. Her own experiences explain why, and serve to offer refreshingly fact-based and granular perspectives on the sweeping, inspiring, and often misleading stories and myths surrounding China's rapid ascent." -- David Rothkopf, CEO and editor-at-large, Foreign Policy magazine; author of Superclass and Power, Inc.
"This very readable book adds a lot of color to what has been a widely misunderstood process in China. By telling her story as an investor, Junheng Li shows in concrete detail how the financial system in China is currently structured in such a way that capital misallocation is not only possible, but indeed is highly likely." -- Michael Pettis, Professor of Finance, Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, Beijing"
