7 Activist Stocks for Investors to Consider
Billionaire Dan Loeb doesn’t get in a proxy fight with Campbell Soup (NYSE:CPB) if he doesn’t think there’s money to be made owning activist stocks such as the iconic soup company. “If you decided to invest money in a random sample of activist hedge funds, you would have earned 12.4% before paying the hedge fund 2% per year plus 20% of that 12.4% upside,” wrote Roger Martin, director of the Martin Prosperity Institute, on August 20 in the Harvard Business Review.
