John Griffin of hedge fund Blue Ridge Capital reported his Q4 portfolio. As of 12/31/2010, Blue Ridge Capital owns 54 stocks with a total value of $6.6 billion. These are the details of the buys and sells.
Blue Ridge Capital was founded by Mr. John Griffin, who was known as legendary investor Julian Robertson's right hand man. Mr. Griffin is adjunct professor of finance at Columbia Business School and a visiting professor at the University of Virginia. He began his career as a financial analyst for Morgan Stanley Merchant Banking Group before moving on to Tiger Management, where he became president in 1993.
Blue Ridge runs a long-short portfolio. For the long positions the firm focuses on the companies that can produce a superior return over a three to five-year time period. For short positions it focuses the stocks that will underperform, or “not make it”, over a one to two year period. The likely reason their shorts work: the underlying companies fail in a poor economic environment. The portfolio is generally net long. The shorts help the portfolio because they can go to zero in a poor market, whereas the longs may go down a lot, but they will come back based on the strength of the underlying businesses.
Because he owns both long and short positions, Mr. Griffin has the luxury of being somewhat indffierent to the macro environment, which he claims that he had “no idea what is going on", and he is not concerned.
