Launched in 1977 with $1 million of capital, total AUM for the Hedge fund is now at $21.8 billion. Singer has been in the news over his multi billion dollar feud with the Government of Argentina. As of late, Paul Singer has been shorting some European companies. Paul Singer recently spelled out the bull case for gold amid a plunge in the price of the commodity. He also listed his fear over the fate of Europe noting:

The fact that there is not a bank run, trot or walk right now is absolutely no indication that depositors will keep their money in European banks in the near-, medium- or long-term. We imagine that this thought process is occurring in the minds of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of European depositors right now.
