Activist hedge-funds have been opaque and mysterious and have acquired a certain myth. Whether they are corporate raiders specializing in hostile takeovers and asset stripping of publicly listed businesses or activist investors is very much in the eye of the beholder? To understand typical strategies, we analyze and present over 40 historical transactions here. Every deal is different but analyzing the anatomy of a transaction provides insight into how these funds operate. The book also draws attention to the share price charts during the period too. Transaction examples range from: • Carl Icahn • Goodwood Inc and Burton Capital • Highfields Capital Management • JANA Partners • Pardus Capital Management • Pirate Capital • Tracinda Corp • Trian Fund • PolygonContents-Activist Discussion-Case Studies in Activist Hedge Fund Investments-Examples of Activist Funds-Responding to Activist Hedge Funds-Historical - Selected Activism Snapshot Over a Year
