through PAL’s Digital University, our youth are learning about effective use of social media and the many new careers in technology that are available to them. PAL is particularly skilled at making learning activities stimulating through “hands on” activities and interactive learning opportunities. Contests, worked with a poet to create their own poem and chose its illustrator. At one PAL Center, the youth even receive violin lessons.
At the end of each school year, PAL

According to Hedge Fund Research, assets under management for activist funds have nearly tripled in five years (to $89 billion in 2013 from $32 billion in 2008). At Argus Research, we monitor the activity of activists from several angles. Our sister com- pany, Vickers Stock Research, collects information on portfolio holdings and activist filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings are reviewed by corpora- tions and investors alike. As well, analysts at Argus follow dozens of companies that activists have targeted or may target in the future. These companies are often Blue Chips with valuable franchises, but have somehow taken a misstep in the past few years — and their performance has lagged. The typical activist target is a diversified, asset-rich company with little debt and low margins. The activists can come in and push for either a restructuring or a capital reallocation program that often results in a share buyback plan or dividend increase. Sometimes a new management team is brought in. Interestingly, though, some of the recent research on activist investing has concluded that these funds often take a long-term or even collaborative approach with the managements they target. A paper published by professors from Duke University and Columbia University titled “The Long- Term Effects of Hedge Fund Activism” concluded that activist investing not only increases value around the time of investment, but for as many as five years following the investment.

HEDGE FUND ACTIVISM COMING TO EUROPE: LESSONS FROM THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE Alexandros Seretakis* ABSTRACT Hedge fund activists are the bright new hope of the shareholder empowerment movement. Free from conflicts of interest and with high- powered compensation incentives, activist hedge funds are shaking up corporate boardrooms. The recent surge in activism has provoked criticism against activist investors portrayed as short-term agitators seeking to obtain short-term profits at the expense of long-term value. Although the view of hedge fund activists as short-term speculators has been discredited by empirical evidence, innovative tactics employed by hedge funds allow them to secretly accumulate large stakes in target companies within a short time period. In response to the adverse effects of activist tactics on market transparency and fairness, European regulators have tightened disclosure obligations for major blockholders, with U.S. regulators following suit. While calls for tightening disclosure obligations in the United States have been accompanied by a lively debate between proponents and opponents of tighter disclosure rules, the amendment of disclosure rules in Europe was not preceded by any meaningful empirical analysis of the benefits and costs of tighter disclosure rules.

    Activism's Long Road from Corporate Raiding to Banner Year

    Activism’s Long Road From Corporate Raiding to Banner Year The Wall Street Journal By David Benoit December 26, 2015 When activist investor Nelson Peltz demanded board seats at H.J. Heinz Co. in 2006, both the company and its headquarters city were indignant. The Pittsburgh newspaper ran editorials urging support for the “hometown team.” Heinz gave employees bottles of its signature ketchup with custom labels urging them to vote against Mr. Peltz’s nominees. “We thought, ‘Gosh, we don’t need outside help,’ ” recalls Art Winkleblack, then the company’s chief financial officer. This June, nearly a decade later, Mr. Peltz’s Trian Fund Management LP got an entirely different reception after buying a 7% stake in Pentair PLC, a Minnesota maker of pumps and valves. Pentair Chief Executive Randall Hogan spoke several times with Trian co- founder Ed Garden about corporate strategies and promptly moved to add Mr. Garden to its board. “You never know what you don’t know,” Mr. Hogan says of his willingness to listen to the activists. After decades of being treated as boorish gate-crashers, activist investors are infiltrating the boardrooms of large companies like never before. This year activists launched more campaigns in the U.S.—360 through Dec. 17—than any other year on record, according to FactSet. They secured corporate board seats in 127 of those campaigns, blowing past last year’s record of 107. Activists now manage more than $120 billion in investor capital, double what they had just three years ago, according to researcher HFR. The industry has come a long way since the 1980s, when Carl Icahn, Saul Steinberg, T.

    How to Outsmart Activist Investors Harvard Business Review by Bill George and Jay W

    How to Outsmart Activist Investors Harvard Business Review By Bill George and Jay W. Lorsch May 2014 In July 2013 the activist investor Nelson Peltz called PepsiCo’s chair and CEO, Indra Nooyi, to tell her that his Trian Fund Management had accumulated a more than $1.3 billion stake in her company. He demanded that PepsiCo acquire Mondelēz International, the former Kraft snacks business (in which Peltz owned a $1 billion stake), and then split PepsiCo into two entities, one focused on beverages and the other on food. Peltz had staged a similar intervention at Kraft, where he pushed CEO Irene Rosenfeld to acquire Cadbury Schweppes and then split the combined company into a global snacks business (Mondelēz) and a U.S. grocery one (Kraft). Mondelēz had struggled, however, to compete with global giants such as Nestlé and Unilever. Hence Peltz’s PepsiCo plan. It was an audacious, even shocking, proposal, but it’s the kind of thing that happens often these days. Since the start of the 21st century, a new breed of shareholder—the activist hedge fund— has frequently played a decisive role in interactions between corporations and markets. These activists build on past efforts: Their interest in governance changes such as eliminating staggered boards and poison pills follows similar efforts by public-employee and union pension funds since the 1990s. Their focus on getting companies to take on more debt and pay out more to shareholders recalls the corporate raiders of the 1980s. In fact, a few of the most prominent activists, including Peltz and Carl Icahn, are former corporate raiders.
