Melvin Capital Management is a New York City-based investment management firm founded in 2014 by Gabriel Plotkin. It invests primarily in tech and consumer stocks and is reported to have $7 billion in assets under management, as of June 2019.
History
Plotkin founded Melvin Capital in late 2014, naming the fund after his late grandfather who was a small-business owner. He raised nearly $1 billion.
In its first full year in operation, Melvin Capital had returns of 47%, ranking it 2nd in Bloomberg's 2015 list of top-performing funds with $1 billion or more in assets under management.
In 2017, the fund finished up 41%. Current notable investments include Chewy.com, Amazon.com, Las Vegas Sands, Alibaba, and Gamestop.
Prior to starting Melvin Capital, Plotkin was a trader at SAC Capital where he managed a portfolio of mostly consumer stocks valued at about $1.3 billion. According to The Wall Street Journal, about one-third of the gains in 2019 from Steve Cohen's current hedge fund, Point72, came from Melvin Capital Management LP.
In September 2020 the name of company showed up in the Polish Short Sale Registry (Rejestr Krótkiej Sprzedaży) because of a short position in game developers CD Projekt, a net position of 0.55 percent through the Polish stock exchange(GPW). They gained considerably due to the problems faced during the launch of Cyberpunk 2077.
