While
the majority of activist investor campaigns have historically taken place in
the United States, the strategy is growing rapidly in Europe, Australia and
even Japan. As forecasts continue to point to a weakening in the European
equity markets, US activist investors are starting to eye European companies
with more frequency. The mainstream press has extensively covered campaigns
against large well-known companies like Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Sony and
Yahoo, but much of the recent growth in activist stocks has been in the
small-cap sector.
The Growth of Activist Investing in Europe, taking place June 2 in
London, prepares public company management so they understand what may attract
an activist to target their company, what to expect if they become the object
of an activist campaign, and how to respond.
