We recently published a list of Billionaire Larry Robbins’ 10 Stock Picks with Huge Upside Potential. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Alight, Inc. (NYSE:ALIT) stands against other stock picks with huge upside potential.
Larry Robbins is an American hedge fund manager and philanthropist who founded Glenview Capital Management in 2000. The firm manages capital for investors across a range of private investment funds. Robbins is currently the CEO of his firm. He graduated with honors from the Jerome Fisher Program in Management and Technology at the University of Pennsylvania in 1992 and earned a BS in economics with concentrations in accounting, finance, and marketing. He also has a BS in engineering with a major in systems engineering. He became a Certified Public Accountant in Illinois in 1991. Before founding Glenview Capital, Robbins worked as a portfolio manager at Omega Advisors, which is a prominent hedge fund founded by Leon Cooperman. In 2017, Larry Robbins also began serving as chairman of the Robin Hood Foundation, which fights poverty in New York City. Through his Family Foundation, he is an active supporter of education reform both in NYC and on the national level. He also serves as Chairman of the Board of KIPP NY and is a Board Member of Zearn and Relay Graduate School of Education.
Due to his sharp analytical skills and a focus on the healthcare sector, Robbins has built a reputation as one of the most influential figures in the hedge fund industry. Glenview Capital Management has 6 clients and discretionary assets under management (AUM) of $5.6 billion as reported in its Form ADV dated 4 March 2025. The last reported 13F filing for Q4 2024 included $3.95 billion in managed 13F securities and a top 10 holdings concentration of 65.22%. Earlier in September 2024, Institutional Investor reported that Glenview Capital Management was on track for its best year in 5 years. The flagship Glenview Capital Partners fund was up 3.45% in August 2024 and 17.2% through the first 8 months of the year. One of the reasons behind this performance is the hedge fund’s diversification away from a historically heavy concentration in healthcare stocks. Glenview Capital Management has now expanded its investments into the tech sector and other industries. Larry Robbins believes in a straightforward investment strategy:
“There are only two things that matter in investing. What are they going to earn, and what multiple are people going to put on that. Let’s not make our business any more complicated than this.”
