An SPAC uses proceeds from its IPO, together with borrowed funds, to acquire a company, typically within two years. Investors in the IPO do not know in advance which company a SPAC will buy, although many outline in advance the sectors they want to be active in. It is not clear which sector Ackman’s SPAC is will target.
Ackman’s hedge fund has gained 33% since January, making him one of the industry’s best performers after he engineered a hedge for his portfolio that translated into a $2.6 billion windfall.
