He is also fighting for board seats at McDonald\u2019s and is battling Southwest Gas Holdings.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ackman wrote Pershing Square 3.0 will make \u201cour jobs easier and more fun, and our quality of life better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Pershing Square is nursing small losses for 2022, the firm is still faring far better than the broader stock market thanks to interest rate hedges that protected against a sharp market drop. The last three years were lucrative. In 2021, Pershing Square Holdings returned 26.9% after a 70.2% gain in 2020 and a 58.1% increase in 2019.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
