Fund manager Michael Burry of 'The Big Short' fame exited bearish bets on Tesla Inc , Alphabet Inc's Google, and fund manager Cathie Wood's ARK Innovation fund last quarter, according to SEC filings released on Monday.
Burry, whose bets against mortgage securities in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis were featured in Michael Lewis' 2010 book "The Big Short," and who now runs $638 million Scion Asset Management, exited out of put options on slightly more than 1 million shares of Tesla, a snapshot of his portfolio as of Sept. 30 showed.
Burry told CNBC in October that he was no longer betting against Tesla and that his position, which was disclosed earlier this year, was just a trade.Among other positions he exited were put options on 91,900 shares of Alphabet Inc and 1.9 million shares of the iShares 20 year plus Treasury ETF. Burry also exited a put position on 235,500 shares of ARK Innovation, the ETF run by star stockpicker Cathie Wood which was the top-performing U.S. equity fund last year thanks to its bets on high-growth companies that rallied during the early stages of the pandemic.
The $20.5 billion fund has slipped this year, however, and is down 4.8% for the year to date despite the 24.7% rally in the S&P 500. It was not clear how Burry's bearish bets on Tesla and the others fared, given that regulatory filings do not require the disclosure of options strikes, purchase prices and expiration dates.
