Star US fund manager Cathie Wood has hit back at renowned hedge fund manager Michael Burry after it was revealed he has made a big bet against her flagship strategy.
Burry — the inspiration behind the Oscar-winning film “The Big Short” after correctly calling the US subprime mortgage crisis — disclosed in a regulatory filing on 16 August that his firm, Scion Asset Management, had put options against the ARK Innovation ETF which were valued at more than $31m during the second quarter.
