Is Chris Hohn Britain’s answer to Warren Buffett?

“Where other hedge funds of a similar size spread wagers across thousands of investments, Hohn has built his record of success on a series of colossal multibillion-dollar bets, currently managing roughly $77bn in only 15 positions globally.

His success as an investor has allowed him to turn his #CharitableFoundation into one of the #UK’s largest, giving away billions to public health, climate and children’s causes. Buffett, whom Hohn speaks to often, tells the FT his record is “exceptional”.”

…

“Until recently, for example, the fund had an $8bn position in #Microsoft — based on the thesis that the company has cornered corporates with a cost-effective bundle of services, such as #Office and #Teams, that are difficult for upstarts like Zoom to compete with.

But the steady drumbeat of productivity tools from #AI company #Anthropic has raised doubts about its dominance of this space. For Hohn, the thesis had changed. This year, he cut the entirety of the fund’s position.

“Chris doesn’t flirt with stocks,” says John Armitage of hedge fund Egerton, one of the most profitable managers of all time and an old mentor of Hohn. “He’s all in, or not in.”
