Activist shareholders are becoming more efficient, more sophisticated and better resourced.

In our latest insight, we chart shareholder activism trends, tactics and strategies for companies to prepare. Here's how to stay ahead of evolving campaigns: https://lnkd.in/gsyx5wa5

ACTIVIST INVESTOR 📎An activist investor, typically a specialized hedge fund, buys a significant minority stake in a publicly traded company in order to change how it is run. 📎The activist investor's goals may be as modest as advising company management or as ambitious as forcing the sale of the company, divestitures or restructuring, or replacing the board of directors. 📎Unlike private equity firms that buy and restructure companies in order to profit when they are resold, activist investors seldom acquire full or majority stakes. Instead, they use public communications and private discussions to win over other shareholders and company insiders. When such efforts fail, an activist investor may pursue a proxy contest to elect new directors in order to force the company to meet their demands. 🔗Activist investors are sometimes called shareholder activists, a term also used to describe those lobbying companies to improve working conditions for the overseas employees of their contractors, or backers of a dissident board slate elected to fight climate change. #sebi #investors #bse #nse #equity #shareholders

Harbourfront Wealth Management? Who are you? The "name" is not well known vs a bank owned firm. For some it is a hindrance. For many, it is an asset.

We welcome the world's largest alternative asset manager Blackstone. It IS time to be IN THE GAME.

Activist investing isn't just reserved for global investors like Carl Icahn or Bill Ackman anymore — Australia is witnessing its own surge in activist-style activity. Investors are influencing companies to block deals, shuffle boardrooms, cut costs, and beef up dividends. The conversations that used to happen behind closed doors are now coming public. From Aussie billionaires like Atlassian's Mike Cannon-Brookes and Gina Rinehart to heavyweight pension funds such as AustralianSuper, and specialized funds like L1 Capital's Catalyst Fund, stakeholders are leveraging their influence to drive change. We recently sat down with James Hawkins, a partner and head of L1 Capital's Catalyst Fund, who said “Activism in Australia has evolved from having a stigma associated with it, to being accepted, and to now being valued.” His A$1.7 billion fund has gained 42% since its inception in 2021. We'll be closely watching to see how boards prepare for activism and which companies make their way into the spotlight next!

“Value of Thinking Like an Activist Shareholder” is my latest Lead Mandates LLC Thought Leadership feature. Much to the chagrin of management teams and boards of directors across the globe, shareholder activism is back to pre-pandemic levels. Prior to the pandemic, much of the growth in shareholder activism was driven by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. Currently, while ESG remains in the mix albeit to a lesser degree, areas such as executive compensation, mergers & acquisitions (M&A) valuation, and overall performance management have re-emerged on the activist shareholder agenda. Whether companies engage or resist activist shareholder campaigns, they can be highly disruptive to organizations even if the concerns raised are valid. While many companies have activist shareholder defense plans, leading organizations also understand the value of thinking like an activist shareholder in their management and board practices. In essence, they are both pre-emptive and proactive in their approach. What do you think?
