Year by year

Each calendar year’s result for Appaloosa’s main fund. Appaloosa doesn’t publish its results. These figures are from news reports, which don’t say whether fees were taken out. The reports are mostly Bloomberg’s and Institutional Investor’s; the early years are Appaloosa Investment I. 2024 is left blank because reports disagree (about 8% or about 26%), as are years reported only roughly (“20-plus percent”).
From Jul 1, 1993 to Sep 30, 2009, it grew 30.7% a year on average. Up in 14 of the 17 years shown, down in 3.
No figures found for 1994, 1996, 2000–2002, 2004–2007, 2010, 2013, 2015–2016, 2018, 2021 and 2023–2024.
