Acadian Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: AAMI) Chairman John Paulson today commented, “I’m enthusiastic about Acadian’s transition into the only pure-play public systematic manager. Since this transition, Acadian has experienced strong operating performance and asset growth, and we remain excited about its future prospects. This week in response to investor interest through reverse inquiry, we sold a relatively small block of stock for rebalancing purposes. After the sale, we remain Acadian’s largest shareholder owning approximately 22% of outstanding shares. As Chairman, I remain committed to and fully aligned with all shareholders in creating sustainable long-term value.”
