Third Point, the activist fund run by Dan Loeb, exited a series of high-profile positions during the first quarter, including stakes in Honeywell International Inc., Time Warner Inc., MGM Resorts International and U.S. mall owner Macerich Co.
The New York-based hedge fund also added a position in Wynn Resorts Ltd., according to a regulatory filing Tuesday. The Las Vegas-based casino company’s co-founder and chief executive officer, Steve Wynn, resigned in February amid allegations of sexual harassment. Wynn Resorts made a surprise announcement Monday that two directors were resigning, including one who co-founder Elaine Wynn urged shareholders to vote against.
