Dan Loeb's hedge fund firm Third Point has released its third quarter letter. Thus far for 2017, they're up 14.5% in their Offshore Fund and up 23% in their Ultra Fund.
While they feel earnings multiples are high by historical standards, they think earnings growth and low interest rates combine to make an environment ripe for higher valuations anyways.
The biggest risk they see currently? A recession. However, they feel the risk is low as economic growth rates are high.
