"Greenlight Capital generated a positive 9.0% return in 2025, driven entirely by highly successful macro positions in gold, copper, and rates. The firm remains deeply cautious of record-high U.S. stock valuations and is closing the fund to new investors on July 1, 2026."
Greenlight Capital returned 9.0% net of fees in 2025, underperforming the S&P 500's 17.9% return. Performance was entirely driven by the macro book (14.5% overall alpha generated), featuring highly successful direct plays on physical gold (+64%), copper (+40%), and interest rate futures. The long-short equity book was hindered by a broad cyclical economic downturn. Greenlight capitalized on selective successes including Brighthouse Financial, Teva, and the FLR/SMR stub trade. Several new long positions were initiated in Q4 (AR, DECK, GPN, HSIC, SPB, WBD), and HPQ and SDRL were exited. Greenlight remains highly defensive regarding market valuations and announced plans to close the Partnerships to new capital on July 1, 2026.
