Ackman’s Pershing Sq Holdings lost more than 25% in the first quarter. Since inception at the start of 2013 the fund is now down more than 9%. Total. Total returns were nearly 70% as recently as last July.
Pershing Sq Holdings is one of several of funds run by Ackman, who claims a 14% 12yr return on assets run with PSH’s unique style.
Based on the Pershing Sq website the firm has collected roughly $450 million in management and incentive fees. Total investor losses now total more than $1 billion. In 2014 Pershing Sq was up 40% net of fees. More than a 1/3 of those gains came from a position in Allergan; shares Ackman bought ahead of leading a takeover bid for the Botox maker.
That stake (still possibly under investigation) eventually morphed into the Valeant holding that threatens Pershing Sq today.

Fly is right and etf’s are the way to go.Too
many lies with individual names.
I back up the truck on Valeant as soon as Ackman gets smoked out
Two-and-twenty scheme is brilliant.
Unreal. Ackfuck is a joke. Why people give him money is unreal.
