Boaz Weinstein's $2.2-billion Saba Capital Management reaped gains trading credit default swaps, an investor says.

Boaz Weinstein’s main hedge fund gained 25.5% in the year’s first two months as he bet against companies exposed to the coronavirus and benefited from some of the most violent market swings in almost a decade.

Weinstein’s $2.2-billion Saba Capital Management reaped gains trading credit default swaps, a sort of insurance against companies defaulting on their borrowings, according to an investor in the 11-year-old firm. He also profited from derivatives bets on companies in the retail and energy sectors.Weinstein, the former co-head of credit at Deutsche Bank AG, generally does best when volatility is high, and the benign markets of recent years may have helped set the stage for his big haul.

He also bet on higher-grade companies including AT&T Inc. and IBM Corp. by writing insurance on their credit.Saba also made money in capital structure arbitrage. Weinstein, for example, holds the debt of Victoria’s Secret owner L Brands Inc., and he used the interest payments to buy put options — wagers on stock prices falling — on the company several months ago. As the stock dropped 12% in the last two weeks of February, the puts jumped in value, more than covering declines on the debt.
