Singer's Elliott Management has focused on activist campaigns, in which they take an equity stake in a company and agitate using influence and voting rights to encourage change, and they have also expanded into private equity.

COVID-19

On 1 February 2020, several weeks before many Americans had heard of COVID-19, Singer wrote a memo to his employees about preparing for the possibility of being quarantined for at least a month due to the virus.[31]

Activist investment

After Elliott Management took a stake in Twitter, Singer pushed to oust Jack Dorsey and control four seats on the board after Dorsey announced he would move to Africa. A deal was reached that gave Elliott Management a seat on the board and left Dorsey as CEO.[32][33]

Fujimori accepted.[37][43][22] In the 1990s the Kensington International division of EMC purchased US$30 million (£18m) of "Congolese sovereign debt... allegedly for less than $20m". Kensington subsequently spent years trying to be paid in full through the courts.[8] In 2008 Kensington and the Republic of Congo settled for an undisclosed amount.[22]

After

U.S. Supreme Court.[53][54] In March 2014 NML Capital unsuccessfully attempted to satisfy court awards by suing SpaceX, seeking the rights to two satellite-launch contracts bought by Argentina valued at $113 million.[36]: 2 [55][56][57][58] In early 2016 US courts ruled that Argentina must make full payments to holdout bondholders by February 29.[59] In February 2016 Argentina reached an agreement with Singer.[60][61][62][63][64]

Business and investment model

According to Fortune, Singer focused from early times "on distressed assets", buying up bankrupt firms' debt and acquiring "a reputation for strong-arming his way to profit".[5] Fortune noted in 2012 that losses sustained early in Singer's career led to a "risk aversion that still guides his investing today. Thanks to his caution, by 2012 Elliott had "only two down years" since 1977, rising "4.2% in 2011, a year in which most hedge funds lost money".[5] Describing him as "one of the smartest and toughest money managers in the business", the article further notes that his firm "is so influential that fear of its tactics helped shape the current 2012 Greek debt restructuring".[5]

Elliott was termed by

activist investor, or a 'vulture capitalist.'"[6]

AC Milan

In July 2018 Singer became the owner of AC Milan after the football team's previous owner defaulted on a $37 million loan payment owed to Singer's hedge fund company. Elliott had loaned $400 million to the previous owner to help him purchase the team, which plays in Italy's top football league (Serie A).[65] Although the company had been expected to sell the club and entertained negotiations, Singer eventually stated that Elliott plans to return AC Milan "to the pantheon of top European football clubs where it rightly belongs" and to inject $66 million to "stabilize the club's finances" and "fund AC Milan's transformation".[66]

Philanthropy

Singer signed

VH1 Save The Music Foundation,[68] and MarineParents.com.[14]

Singer and The Paul E. Singer Family Foundation are behind The Philos Project, a pro-Israel Christian organization.[69] In 2016 Singer partnered with the Museum of the Bible to fund Passages Israel, a program to take college students to Israel.[70] He is a "longtime supporter of hawkish pro-Israel causes" and a major funder of the conservative think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies.[71] In November 2018, after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, the Paul E. Singer Family Foundation announced it would donate $1 million to upgrade security at Jewish institutions in New York.[72] The funds will be given to the United Jewish Appeal – Federation of New York.[73]

Political activity

Singer is an active participant in

Stop Trump movement PAC attempting to derail Donald Trump's election campaign.[80][81][82][83] He also started the American Unity PAC.[84] He supported Trump's inaugural committee with $1 million together with 25 other billionaires.[85]

Singer was a major contributor to

electoral votes by congressional district. At least 19 of the state's 53 congressional districts were expected to vote for a GOP presidential candidate, enough to change the national results in a close election.[91][95]

Singer was one of the largest donors during the

2012 U.S. presidential election.[96] In 2013, Singer gave $100,000 to the Club for Growth, a 501(c)4 organization that supports Tea Party candidates.[97] He has also donated millions of dollars to organizations that advocate for a strong military and for supporting Israel.[98][99][100]

In 2012, Singer founded the nonprofit Start-up Nation Central, an

Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.[106]

In 2016, Singer invested $500,000 in a PAC supporting John Faso, a Congressional candidate in

Justice Samuel Alito in 2008. Singer gave Alito free private jet travel from all across the country to Alaska, where a group including Alito and Singer went fishing. A few years later Alito voted with six other colleagues in Republic of Argentina v. NML Capital, Ltd. brought by Singer's companies after Argentinian debt was bought up. Alito never recused himself. The Federal Record of that case should have had Paul Singer as a Related Party, triggering a recusal analysis and decision.[110]

LGBTQ rights

As well as contributing to private initiatives, Singer also actively seeks to persuade other Republicans to support gay marriage.[12][111] He has joined other Wall Street executives in support of LGBT equality and stated that same-sex marriage promotes "family stability" and that in a time when "the institution of marriage in America has utterly collapsed", the fact that gay couples want to marry "is kind of a lovely thing and a cool thing and a wonderful thing".[112][113]

Singer, whose son Andrew married his husband Corey Morris in a same-sex marriage in

Political Action Committee named American Unity PAC. According to the New York Times, the PAC's "sole mission will be to encourage Republican candidates to support same-sex marriage, in part by helping them to feel financially shielded from any blowback from well-funded groups that oppose it".[117] In 2014 Singer urged Republicans to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. This bill requires workplace protections to extend to the LGBT community.[118] As of June 2014 Singer had donated an estimated $10 million to the gay rights movement.[12] Singer also funded the American Unity Fund.[119]

In 2015, Singer,

Daniel Loeb helped fund Freedom For All Americans to promote LGBT issues in states and local communities in the United States.[120]

Writings and commentary

Singer has written columns in the

Dodd-Frank Act.[5]

At a September 2006 financial conference in New York City, Singer delivered a speech called "Complexity Made Simple", advising that the purchase of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) was a serious mistake and anticipating the downturn of the housing market by nearly a year before the $770 billion taxpayer-funded bailout.[19] Hedge fund manager Jim Chanos said in an August 2009 radio interview that he and Singer had met with G7 finance ministers in 2007 to warn them that the global financial system was increasingly unstable and approaching a catastrophe, with banks on the verge of sinking the global economy. The pair argued that decisive action was called for, but Chanos claims they were met with indifference.[123]

Personal life

In 2020 Singer ranked 222 on the

the world's billionaires, and the 19th highest earning hedge fund manager.[124] He has two sons, Andrew and Gordon. After Andrew came out as gay, Singer said he reacted "with fear and nervousness, I worried about the health aspects ... grandfatherhood" but eventually became a steadfast supporter of gay rights. In 2012, he launched the American Unity PAC, which aims to persuade fellow conservatives to support same-sex marriage. He has actively supported same-sex marriage campaigns and makes large donations to LGBT groups.[125]

Singer lives on New York City's Upper West Side and has a house in Aspen, Colorado.[5] He began studying classical piano at the age of 10 and forms a family band with one son on guitar, another on drums, and his son-in-law on saxophone. He enjoys Led Zeppelin and has played onstage with Meat Loaf.[5]

Honors

In 2017, Singer received an honorary doctorate from the University of Rochester.[126]
