Investor Bruce Berkowitz is shutting his hedge fund and distributing its holdings to investors, including a stake in Sears Holdings Corp.
Berkowitz’s Fairholme Capital Management reported the fund’s unwinding, without naming it, in a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing on Oct. 13. The fund is Fairholme Partnership, which Berkowitz created roughly five years ago, according to a person familiar with the situation.
