In the third quarter, the pain at David Einhorn (Trades, Portfolio)’s hedge fund Greenlight Capital Inc. intensified. The 14.2% decline dragged his nine-month loss on the value of his investments to 16.9%, compared to a 12.3% drop for the S&P 500, meaning 2015 is shaping up to be his first year in the red in five years.
The poor performance at the $12.3 billion firm was not entirely attributable to Greenlight’s long positions. Einhorn had only 20.9% net long exposure as of June 30, as he conservatively positioned his portfolio for a more negative economic environment and invested in other instruments.
