Where does the Baupost Group LLC portfolio data come from?

Non-rejected, non-superseded SEC Form 13F filings for Baupost Group LLC provide the Q3 2025 holdings, disclosed values, and filing date shown here. WhoBought prefers filings whose value units validate and labels a sparse filing when validation is unavailable. Industry labels come from the local company classification record.

Who is Seth Klarman?

How did the Baupost Group begin?

Klarman helped start Baupost in 1982 with William Poorvu and several other partners after finishing Harvard Business School. The firm began with $27 million.

He looks for unpopular or distressed assets trading below his estimate of their worth. Patience, risk control, and buying with room for error are central to the approach.

What does margin of safety mean for Klarman?

It means seeking a meaningful discount between an asset's price and its underlying value, so an investment does not depend on everything going exactly right.

He earned an economics degree from Cornell University in 1979 and later attended Harvard Business School.

Can the portfolio value here be used as Klarman's net worth?

No. It is the value of covered securities reported by Baupost, not a statement of Klarman's personal assets.
