Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager and founder of Pershing Square Capital Management, said he has taken a “l(fā)arge notional short position” against the Hong Kong dollar, arguing it is “only a matter of time” before the currency’s peg to the US dollar breaks.In a Twitter post on Wednesday evening in the US, Ackman revealed that Pershing Square had a “l(fā)arge notional short position against the Hong Kong dollar through the ownership of put options”, which would pay off if the currency’s US dollar exchange rate crashes through the floor of its narrow trading band.
