Pershing Square is a United States investment-management business associated with Pershing Square Capital Management and its publicly listed parent. The manager follows a concentrated, research-intensive approach to investing in large public companies and selected private or strategic opportunities. It manages permanent capital and other investment vehicles for shareholders and institutional investors. The business earns management and performance-related fees from the capital it oversees.
