Paulson? Well respected shop in 2021? Hmm...
There are literally like 10 people that work there and they are all in their mid 30s+, dont think much info will be available on them in this forum. Given most ppl on WSO are 18-21
A lot of employees have law/Rx backgrounds is one thing ive noticed
From 2008 to closing Paulson had flat or slightly negative returns. His GFC trade was extraordinary but everything else is really unimpressive, he's a one hit wonder.
They're about to become a family office by returning whatever investor capital they still have. Returns have been horrendous ever since the GFC. Not knowledgeable on what they pay now but they were one of the highest paying places during their heyday.
Exactly, we're in agreement. His assets skyrocketed after his MBS short and he couldn't handle it. Just paid everyone well and underperformed, not dissimilar from say Baupost. I'm of the opinion that his 2008 short was one of the best trades ever, up there with Soros and Druck shorting the pound, but unlike them he couldn't repeat.
heard they still paid well as of a couple years ago
"Obviously a well respected shop". You don't know what you're talking about. Widely regarded as a one-hit wonder for over a decade now.
The guy is good for nothing. Ultimate definition of one-hit wonder. He probably would have done better if he just put all that windfall from the Big Short into indexes.
