Chamath Palihapitiya predicts and profits from CDS positions
@chamath: Chamath profits on CDS
Chamath Palihapitiya, the renowned venture capitalist and founder of Social Capital, highlighted the success of his investment prediction this year.
In a tweet, Palihapitiya outlined that his forecast at the beginning of 2023 regarding the potential of being long on corporate credit default swaps (CDS) has so far proven correct. This position benefits from any increase in corporate credit defaults, acting as a financial safety net.
CDS positions have indeed yielded substantial returns recently, as market conditions have apparently favored those who, like Palihapitiya, positioned themselves strategically in this sector. His investment insights serve as a testament to the complex volatility and opportunities within the financial markets.

Palihapitiya’s track record with CDS strategies underscores a broader recalibration within alternative assets, building on his prior observations about the ongoing shift from private equity to private credit. Additionally, his cautious approach to emerging sectors parallels earlier warnings on the potential tax equity impact on solar projects—an area where policy uncertainty continues to influence investment decisions.
