John Paulson is the president and portfolio manager of Paulson & Co. Inc. Paulson & Co. was ranked by Absolute Return Magazine as the third-largest hedge fund in the world managing approximately $29 billion in merger, event and distressed strategies. Steven Meyer, author of the article and market analyst has said “Paulson's working strategy is magnificent. His ability to learn of takeover plans to invest is outstanding.
