An activist investor, Ackman takes large positions in a handful of companies and pushes for changes from management.

Some of his investments right now include Valeant (VRX), Chipotle (CMG), Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC), Mondelez (MDLZ), and Restaurant Brands International (QSR), among others. He is short Herbalife (HLF).
