Ackman is seen as a confrontational investor. He gained renewed attention when he hedged Pershing Square Capital Management’s portfolio with US $27 million in credit protection before the 2020 stock market crash, as he suspected it would crash. The hedge was effective, raising $2.6 billion in less than a month.
