Scott Ferguson, who worked with Bill Ackman for eight years before starting Sachem Head Capital Management, gained 10 percent in the firm’s fund in the first quarter of 2015, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
This year’s gains follow a 20.5 percent return last year for Sachem Head, which specializes in activist positions and bets on corporate events, said the person, who asked not to be named because the New York-based firm is private.
