From the FT today:
Seth Klarman, the publicity shy head of the $27bn Baupost Group whose investment opinions have attracted a near cult-like following, said that investors were underplaying risk and were not prepared for an end to central banks reversing a five-year experiment in ultra-loose money.
…“On almost any metric, the US equity market is historically quite expensive. A sceptic would have to be blind not to see bubbles inflating in junk bond issuance, credit quality, and yields, not to mention the nosebleed stock market valuations of fashionable companies like Netflix and Tesla Motors,” he wrote. The Baupost Group declined to comment.
…The Boston-based investor was recently ranked as the fourth best performing hedge fund manager of all time for generating $21.5bn in returns over its history, coming behind George Soros, Ray Dalio and John Paulson.
Nothing new there but just remember it.
