Short-seller Citron Capital generated a net return of 155% and a gross return of 202% in 2020 as bets on work-from-home stocks paid off, the fund’s managing partner Andrew Left wrote in a letter to investors.

The firm started an “outsized long position” in Amazon.com Inc. in late March on the theory that the company would prove a big winner regardless of how the pandemic played out, Left wrote.
