Hedgefondgurun John Paulsons guldfond hårt drabbad

Latest Report

This year’s Alternative Fixed Income report from HedgeNordic explores how institutional investors and asset managers are navigating this new reality, balancing yield and resilience amid shifting credit cycles, structural change, and evolving sources of return.

Stockholm (HedgeFonder.nu) – Den tidigare så framgångsrika och legendariska hedgefondförvaltaren John Paulson drabbades hårt av det kraftiga prisfallet för guldet under april.

Hans guldfond föll med hela 27%, hävdar personer med insyn i siffrorna i intervjuer med Bloomberg. Det förvaltade kapitalet vid utgången av mars var 700 miljoner USD, motsvarande ca 4,5 miljarder SEK.

Nedgången i april följer på en rad svaga månader och fonden har fallit med så mycket som 47% hittills i år och värdet på guldfonden har därmed reducerats med nästan 4 miljarder SEK.

En källa hävdar dessutom att fonden i stort sett består av Paulsons egna pengar.

Guldpriset föll 7,8% i april, inklusive den största nedgången under en tvådagarsperiod sedan januari 1980. Guldpriset har fortsatt att falla och ligger nu på ca 1.430 dollar per ounce.

Paulsons talesman Armel Leslie hos Walek & Associates ville inte kommentera avkastningen för Bloomberg. Paulson har totalt tillgångar för cirka 18 miljarder USD, motsvarande ca 115 miljarder SEK, i sina olika fonder.

Under Lehman-kraschen tjänade Paulsons fonder stora pengar genom att bland annat spekulera på att övervärderade obligationer inom sub-prime skulle falla.
