Pershing Square Capital Management LP, a U.S. hedge fund run by William Ackman, is set to float a new $4-billion (U.S.) fund to boost the amount of permanent capital it has for activist bets, an investor source said.

 

Mr. Ackman, a high-profile activist investor busy trying to shake up the running of firms such as Canadian Pacific Railway (CP-T75.88-0.20-0.26%) and Burger King, plans to list the fund next January, with London the most likely venue, the source – who asked not to be named – said on Thursday.

Ackman’s Pershing Square L.P. is reporting a 31.5 percent gain through September, when it added to its returns with a 1.4 percent rise in value, Reuters is reporting, citing an investor in the fund. The fund had gained 40.8 percent year to date on a gross basis, but after fees of nearly 25 percent hit the returns, the net was 31.5 percent.

Piece about the names on Ackman's desk, which included Sokol.

 

Probably nothing much to it - he wouldn't leave a secret there when journalists are over - but still fun trivia.
