This book examines the shareholder activism of institutional
investors, and the effect of this activism on portfolio
performance. By focusing on 118 institutional investors
headquartered in the United States, the book is unique in
addressing the shareholder activism of a large sample.
Institutional shareholder activism is defined to include both
traditional mechanisms of influence (i.e. filing shareholder
proposals) and relationship investing. Institutional owners
included private and public pension funds, mutual funds, bank
trusts, insurance companies, endowments, and foundations. These
institutional owners differ substantially, and these differences
lead institutions to use their ownership power to pursue different
philosophies and actions. Some institutions follow a passive
governance policy, While others adopt an activist role.
This book seeks to answer four questions: (1) Are institutional
owners actively involved in the strategic affairs of companies in
their portfolios? (2)Which forms of activism do institutional
owners employ (either confrontational mechanisms, such as filing
shareholder proposals, or relationship building mechanisms)?
(3)Which forms of activism employed are most effective? and (4)
Does the institutional type affect its pursuit of shareholder
activism? In answering these questions the author suggests new
important results that in many cases are contrary to what prior
reports of the activities by a small number of institutional owners
may intimate."
