Scion Asset Management Portfolio holdings
Scion Asset Management, LLC, founded in 2013 by Dr. Michael J. Burry and headquartered in Saratoga, California, is a private investment firm managing approximately $196 million in discretionary assets across four private investment funds as of early 2024. Led by Burry, famously portrayed in *The Big Short* for predicting the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, the firm focuses on long-term capital appreciation through a value-oriented, research-driven approach, investing in a diverse range of securities including equities, debt, and derivatives, often with a contrarian bent. Unlike traditional advisory firms, Scion caters exclusively to institutional clients and pooled investment vehicles, such as its Cayman Islands- and Delaware-based funds, requiring minimum investments from $500,000 to $1.5 million, and does not serve individual retail investors directly. With a small team of six, including key figures like COO Zaeed Kalsheker, Scion maintains a low-profile yet influential presence, leveraging Burry’s deep market insights to navigate complex economic landscapes.
