Current Investment Focus and Scion Asset Management
Running a Small Hedge Fund
Michael Burry operates Scion Asset Management as a small family office and hedge fund. He has consistently filed large equity holdings with the SEC, showing concentrated bets in a few public companies. Scion Asset Management remains registered as an investment adviser, and its filings show concentrated positions in specific names rather than diversified portfolios. The fund's size and strategy focus on deep value and contrarian opportunities, often targeting mispriced companies or sectors where market sentiment diverges from fundamentals. For details on recent filings, see the SEC EDGAR database at SEC EDGAR - Scion Asset Management filings.
Recent Equity Positions
Burry's recent public filings show large stakes in companies such as Tesla, where he held a significant stake for years, and other names tied to his contrarian view on market trends. His positions often become public through Schedule 13D or 13G filings, which reveal changes in ownership above 5 percent. In recent periods, his portfolio has included positions in companies related to artificial intelligence, water infrastructure, and other sectors he views as undervalued or misunderstood by the market. These holdings are typically reported in quarterly filings available on the SEC website at SEC EDGAR - Scion Asset Management filings.
Water Investments and Real Assets
Water as a Core Investment Theme
Burry has publicly highlighted water scarcity and infrastructure as a long-term investment theme. He has invested in companies involved in water utilities, treatment, and distribution, viewing water as a critical and increasingly scarce resource. His interest in water aligns with a broader focus on real assets and tangible value, distinguishing his portfolio from growth-oriented tech-heavy funds. This theme reflects his view that government and corporate underinvestment in water infrastructure will create opportunities for disciplined investors.

Portfolio Shifts Toward Real Assets
In recent years, Burry has shifted part of his portfolio toward real assets, including water, agriculture, and other sectors tied to physical scarcity and long-term demand. These moves reflect his belief that traditional equity valuations often ignore structural supply constraints and demographic pressures. He has discussed these themes in interviews and public letters, emphasizing the role of price discovery in markets that underestimate long-term resource risks. This real-asset tilt has become a defining feature of his current investment approach at Scion Asset Management.
Public Commentary and Market Influence
Social Media and Public Letters
Burry uses social media platforms and public letters to share his market views, often focusing on valuation risks, market psychology, and macroeconomic trends. His posts and letters frequently reference specific companies, sectors, and investment frameworks, drawing attention from both retail and institutional investors. He has warned about potential bubbles in areas such as passive investing and high-growth technology stocks, using data and historical comparisons to support his arguments. His commentary continues to influence market discourse, with
