If you're an investor that wants to turn around an underperforming portfolio company, then TAI is for you.
 
Management listens to The Activist Investor.

 Governance is Easy!


We hear an awful lot of debate over a wide range of governance issues - proxy access, executive compensation, poison pills - among governance aficionados, in courtrooms, and in boardrooms. 

 

Actually, most of these are easy questions, or should be. Isn't the resolution to many of these debates simple, at least to a smart investor? Let's dispose of many of these right here and now:

  • Allow proxy access
  • Separate the CEO and BoD Chair 
  • Forget say-on-pay 
  • No social responsibility resolutions 
  • Eliminate poison pills 
  • Leave proxy advisors alone 
  • End the pointless debate on the role of the BoD
See our current blog post for the rationale for these and other current subjects of the ongoing governance debate.
You can find other useful resources at the TAI website, including our research on "Effective Activism, on the Cheap", the new guide to executive compensation, bibliography of academic research on the returns to activist investing, and our white paper with the basics on activism.
