Hedge fund Glenview Capital Management just celebrated its tenth anniversary with stellar returns, according to the latest shareholder letter from its founder Larry Robbins. For the 10-year period ended on Dec. 31, 2010, Glenview Funds gained 301%, while the average hedge fund gained 71% and S&P500 gained just 15%. For the five-year period ended in 2010, Glenview funds gained 122%, while S&P500 gained just 9% and the average hedge fund gained 18%. As of 03/31/2011, Glenview Capital owns 57 stocks with a total value of $6.7 billion. These are the details of the buys and sells.


Larry Robins is proud that his firm can “continue to generate attractive risk adjusted returns.” Although he “remains constructive on the investment environment over the medium term supported by attractive valuations, excessive corporate liquidity and a growing economy,” Robbins broadened his short positions in REIS, cruise lines and other travel related equities, companies that derive a significant portion of their revenue from government and healthcare.


Glenview Capital manages about $7 billion, which is split between Glenview Funds, a short fund, and Little Arbor Funds, a multi-strategy fund. Robbins makes his returns making concentrated bets on large cap stocks. In addition, Robbins has been known to take a more activist approach to some of his large bets, voicing concerns about what management is doing and publicly demanding change.
