Bill Ackman is a famous investor who wanted to raise a lot of money for his new investment fund called Pershing Square USA. He planned to raise $25 billion, but now he thinks he will only be able to raise between $2.5 billion and $4 billion. He asked people to invest in his fund, but the fund's name, Pershing Square USA, says that they don't agree with what he said. Some big investors and even regular people like you and me have already said they will invest in the fund. Bill Ackman still thinks the fund will do well and get a lot of money from investors.
