Paulson Merger Arbitrage Fund Posts Loss… Again – Hopes For GSE Investments To Turn That Around

The Paulson Merger Arbitrage fund, managed by John Paulson of Paulson & Company, has proven itself good at one factor: losing investor money. In fact, its consistency in this regard is rather stunning, an April letter to investors shows. The hedge fund has experienced a rough ride, down every single year. March 2017 wasn’t much better, with the firm that is a fundamental investor around mergers and corporate events mostly in US, Western European and Canadian large cap stocks down -4.8%, according to a letter to investors reviewed by ValueWalk.
