About John Paulson

John Paulson executed 'the greatest trade ever' — shorting subprime mortgages via credit default swaps for roughly $15 billion in 2007 — then pivoted through merger arbitrage, gold, and event-driven equity before converting to a family office in 2020.

His 13F retains that event-driven DNA: merger-arb stakes, gold miners as a standing macro position, and pharmaceutical special situations, in a book far smaller than his hedge-fund-era peak.

Methodology: turnover is min(value bought, value sold) ÷ average reported value across the two quarters — value-based, so market moves inflate it slightly versus a share-based measure. Concentration and largest position are shares of the filing’s total reported value, options excluded. New/exited counts compare against the prior filed quarter. All figures derive solely from the fund’s 13F filings.
