Icahn Carl Portfolio holdings
The Icahn Carl 13F filing belongs to Carl Icahn, one of the first activist investors, who takes large stakes in companies and presses management for changes. In 1968 he bought a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and set up Icahn & Co., which traded in risk arbitrage and options. His takeover of Trans World Airlines, which he later sold off in pieces, earned him a reputation as a 1980s corporate raider. Icahn founded Icahn Enterprises and controls it. This public conglomerate owns businesses in energy, automotive, metals, real estate and other sectors, and took its name in 2007 when American Real Estate Partners, another Icahn-controlled entity, merged into it. Icahn started the hedge fund Icahn Partners in 2004, and has not managed money for outside clients since 2011.
