This clip highlights one of the most famous trades of the Covid era.

Before founding Pershing Square Capital Management in 2004, Bill Ackman worked in investment banking and later launched Gotham Partners, an early hedge fund focused on value investing.

Over time, Ackman developed a concentrated, activist style centered around owning high-quality businesses with durable growth.

But one of his greatest trades came during the market panic of early 2020.

As the pandemic spread, Ackman became increasingly concerned about the impact on credit markets and the broader economy.

To protect his portfolio, he purchased credit default swaps. These acted like insurance against a severe deterioration in credit markets.

When fear exploded and spreads widened, those hedges generated approximately $2.6 billion.

What made the trade remarkable wasn't just the profits. It was what Ackman did next.

As stocks collapsed, he closed the hedges and redeployed the proceeds into high-quality companies trading at depressed prices. He shifted from defensive to aggressive when opportunities appeared.

Ackman's investing philosophy evolved over time.

Today, he focuses on:

➡️ Durable businesses
➡️ Strong competitive advantages
➡️ Long-term growth
➡️ High barriers to entry
➡️ Non-disruptive industries

Because great businesses tend to survive difficult periods.

Great investors aren't permanently bullish or bearish. They're flexible. They protect capital when risks rise.

And when fear creates opportunities, they aren't afraid to become aggressive.

As Warren Buffett famously said: "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful."
