ACTIVIST SHAREHOLDER

Activist shareholders are investors who use their ownership stakes in publicly traded companies to influence strategic changes in the hopes of increasing shareholder value. The goals of activist shareholders vary from financial (i.e., increasing value) to non-financial (i.e., moving to sustainable practices). Prominent activist shareholders include pension funds, such as Calpers and Calsters, as well as hegde fund managers like Carl Icahn, Bill Ackman and Chris Hohn.
