Frequently asked questions
What sectors does Gotham Partners typically invest in?
The firm has no formal sector restrictions but concentrates on publicly traded equities in the United States. Einhorn has shown a preference for financials (his 2015 Green Mountain Coffee short is a famous exception), often targeting companies with opaque accounting or overvalued assets. He has invested in technology, consumer goods, and industrials. The firm explicitly avoids venture capital, private equity, real estate, and fixed income.
Does Gotham Partners have a philanthropic foundation?
Yes, the David Einhorn Foundation focuses on medical research, particularly pediatric cancer, and education. The foundation is separate from the investment operations of Gotham Partners. Einhorn has donated over $200 million to charity, including a 2013 pledge of $75 million to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (per the foundation's public tax filings).
Has Gotham Partners been involved in any notable activist campaigns?
Yes. David Einhorn is known for high-profile activist positions. He successfully pushed for a spin-off of Caesars Entertainment's online gaming division in 2012 and agitated for a sale of Apple's cash reserves in 2013. His 2015 short of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters was a famous bet that paid off. More recently, he has been a vocal critic of General Motors' management and capital allocation.
