# Pershing Square IPO Investors Post Gain After Free Shares

Investors in Bill Ackman’s new $5 billion closed-end fund ended the week with a small gain overall, once the value of the free shares they received in his asset management company is included.

The fund, Pershing Square USA Ltd., went public on Wednesday as part of a combined offering with Pershing Square Inc.

It ended the week at $42.80. The shares rose 0.2% in regular trading on Friday but remained 14% below the $50 offering price.

Pershing Square Inc., the Ackman-controlled asset manager, surged 35.7% to $37.99 in Friday’s session.

Investors in the IPO received one bonus share of Pershing Square Inc. for every five shares they bought in the closed-end fund.

Those who invested the $250 minimum in the IPO for five shares of the closed-end fund and received the bonus share are up 0.8% on their investment across the combined holdings.
