Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square has launched a dual IPO, aiming to raise up to $10 billion through Pershing Square Inc. and Pershing Square USA.
The IPO offers shares at $50 each, with investors receiving bonus shares in the management company; $2.8 billion has already been secured privately.
The structure mirrors Ackman’s hedge fund strategy, seeks to broaden investor access, and removes performance fees, positioning Pershing Square for long-term growth.
