Shareholder activism has now entered the mainstream as an investment approach designed to agitate for corporate change, whether in terms of strategy, structure or management. The recent credit crunch has limited the scope for highly leveraged transactions, which, in turn, has increased the appeal of investor activism as a means of achieving significant returns based on relatively small investments. A weaker stock market further supports this trend.
This timely conference is being held at a time when the evolving role of CFDs and their increased use in activist or takeover strategies is attracting a high degree of regulatory interest, both from the FSA as seen in their recent FSA consultation paper and from the Takeover Panel. With public and regulatory scrutiny increasing particularly in relation to disclosure of interests in companies, the Hedge Fund Standards Board published its "Best Practice Standards" - earlier this year.
This event, the second in this successful series, brings together a speaker panel of exceptional quality to provide delegates with an in-depth analysis of the current topics and themes in the world of shareholder activism. It will also examine the recent developments of the various new drivers behind the growth of activism, as well as looking at the European perspective.
