What this transaction means for investors

Pershing Square USA is headed by Pershing Square Capital Management founder Bill Ackman, and is his debut into the public markets, having gone public via an initial public offering (IPO) at the end of April. PSUS is a closed-end fund that trades on the New York Stock Exchange, and can be traded like a stock. With no performance fees or redemptions, the fund is meant to appeal to both retail and institutional investors.

PSUS closed at $40.90 on the day of its market debut, well below its IPO price of $50. However, if you like Ackman and believe in his investing record, PSUS is likely a buy. It’s a highly liquid way to play Ackman’s investing track record and strategy, and investors will benefit from the portfolio appreciation as well as the fees generated via asset manager Pershing Square Inc. Because of its structure and connection to investing royalty, many on Wall Street are likening PSUS to Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, which itself has delivered monster returns for long-term buy-and-hold investors.
