The past two decades has witnessed unprecedented changes in the
corporate governance landscape in Europe, the US and Asia. Across
many countries, activist investors have pursued engagements with
management of target companies. More recently, the role of the
hostile activist shareholder has been taken up by a set of hedge
funds. Hedge fund activism is characterized by mergers and
corporate restructuring, replacement of management and board
members, proxy voting, and lobbying of management. These investors
target and research companies, take large positions in `their
stock, criticize their business plans and governance practices, and
confront their managers, demanding action enhancing shareholder
value. This book analyses the impact of activists on the companies
that they invest, the effects on shareholders and on activists
funds themselves. Chapters examine such topic as investors'
strategic approaches, the financial returns they produce, and the
regulatory frameworks within which they operate. The chapters also
provide historical context, both of activist investment and
institutional shareholder passivity. The volume facilitates a
comparison between the US and the EU, juxtaposing not only
regulatory patterns but investment styles.
