Pershing Square

Interesting that Pershing Square manages around $20B in assets but only have around 10 investment analysts. Looking at their backgrounds, they don't hire MBAs but recruit those who did standard top banking+PE route (Goldman/KKR, Goldman/Apollo, Centerview/Warburg Pincus, Evercore/Hellman & Friedman). Surprised at how lean they are given the AUM size. And those guys are probably making ~$1M/year on average. 

 

Median pay of $1m seems more reasonable, definitely not on average. 

 

Also interesting that they manage $20bn with such a mediocre track record...

I'm just waiting to find out 6 months from now what his actual positioning is. He can't stop tweeting about how the banks will fail and yet claims he has no long/short positions in the banks so he can continue to be part of the conversation (giving pontificating VC vibes). 

I know he's smart and greedy so just know he's talking up some indirect bet again.

 

The undisputed king of talking your book.. guess that's what you have to do if you have questionable investment skill
