This is the Q3 portfolio update of hedge fund Perry Capital. The firm is run by founder Richard Perry, who had only one down year during its 21 years of history.
Richard Perry wrote in his shareholder review earlier this year:
We anticipate that in 2010 the financial markets will continue to be greatly impacted by fiscal policy. We are living in an era of unprecedented debt created by budget deficits, bubble-era bullish views on asset values and benign monetary policy. Fortunately, the US government's effort to stem the 2008 meltdown has removed the threat of a systemic failure. This intervention will likely embolden more government involvement in future crises or perceived crises and may ultimately prove to be a costly legacy of 2008. The alternative, allowing market clearing mechanisms to attempt to take hold, can also result in dislocations and pain. Yet, for most of the past 25 years, the economy has grown and recovered despite such disruptions in many industries. The pain threshold in our country is extremely low, stemming from a prolonged period of relatively benign economic conditions in place since the 1980's. The free flow of capital seeking high returns has facilitated a rolling recovery whenever there has been any economic instability. This Darwinian metamorphosis — overleveraged entities are either restructured into leaner, better enterprises or sometimes liquidated; companies that no longer offer long-term economic return on capital are doomed, while others that have potentially high returns are given more funds — has been our economy's way of cleansing itself.
Apparently Mr. Perry thinks it is a good time to buy stocks. He bought a lot more during third quarter, and sold just a handful. He has more than 35% of portfolio in SPY put options.
As of 09/30/2010, Perry Capital owns 76 stocks with a total value of $6.4 billion. These are the details of the buys and sells.
This is the sector weightings of his portfolio:

Richard Perry wrote in his shareholder review earlier this year:
We anticipate that in 2010 the financial markets will continue to be greatly impacted by fiscal policy. We are living in an era of unprecedented debt created by budget deficits, bubble-era bullish views on asset values and benign monetary policy. Fortunately, the US government's effort to stem the 2008 meltdown has removed the threat of a systemic failure. This intervention will likely embolden more government involvement in future crises or perceived crises and may ultimately prove to be a costly legacy of 2008. The alternative, allowing market clearing mechanisms to attempt to take hold, can also result in dislocations and pain. Yet, for most of the past 25 years, the economy has grown and recovered despite such disruptions in many industries. The pain threshold in our country is extremely low, stemming from a prolonged period of relatively benign economic conditions in place since the 1980's. The free flow of capital seeking high returns has facilitated a rolling recovery whenever there has been any economic instability. This Darwinian metamorphosis — overleveraged entities are either restructured into leaner, better enterprises or sometimes liquidated; companies that no longer offer long-term economic return on capital are doomed, while others that have potentially high returns are given more funds — has been our economy's way of cleansing itself.
Apparently Mr. Perry thinks it is a good time to buy stocks. He bought a lot more during third quarter, and sold just a handful. He has more than 35% of portfolio in SPY put options.
