Pershing Square Capital Management Portfolio holdings
Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P., founded in 2004 by Bill Ackman and headquartered in New York City, is a prominent American hedge fund known for its concentrated, activist investment approach, managing over $18 billion in assets as of recent years. Starting with $54 million from Ackman’s personal funds and a seed investment from Leucadia National, the firm focuses on acquiring significant stakes in a small portfolio of large-cap North American companies, often pushing for operational and governance changes to unlock shareholder value, as seen in high-profile campaigns targeting Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Herbalife. In 2014, Ackman launched Pershing Square Holdings, a closed-end fund listed on Euronext Amsterdam and the London Stock Exchange, raising $3 billion in its IPO, providing a permanent capital base to support its long-term strategies. Renowned for bold moves—like a $2.6 billion profit betting on a market crash in 2020—and a research-intensive, value-driven philosophy, Pershing Square has solidified its reputation as a formidable player in the investment world under Ackman’s leadership.
