Question
Pershing Square Discloses $3.3B Capital Deployment Across V, MA, and SPGI
Direct answer
Pershing Square's latest disclosures show a significant shift into capital-light financial tollbooths. Deploying $1.1 billion each into Visa, Mastercard, and S&P Global concentrates nearly a fifth of the fund's equity portfolio in payment rail and index pricing assets. The positioning reflects institutional preference for businesses with pricing power and non-cyclical fee structures amid broader macroeconomic volatility.
