The Long-term Efficacy of Activist Directors /slideshow/the-longterm-efficacy-of-activist-directors/58734907 theefficacyofactivistdirectors2-25-2016-160226003528
Over the past two decades, hedge fund activism has emerged as a new mechanism of corporate governance that brings about operational, financial and governance reforms to a corporation. Many prominent business executives and legal scholars are convinced that the entire American economy will suffer unless hedge fund activism with its perceived short-termism agenda is significantly restricted. Shareholder activists and their proponents claim they function as a disciplinary mechanism to monitor management and are instrumental in mitigating the agency conflict between managers and shareholders. My expansive, hand-collected dataset and unique empirical research design methodology with respect to board representation fills an important void in the literature regarding the long-term efficacy of hedge fund activists serving as a disciplinary mechanism on Target Firms by actively seeking board representation to monitor management and reduce agency cost. Moreover, my findings have important policy implications related to the ongoing debate on corporate governance and the rights and roles of shareholders. I find statistically meaningful empirical evidence to suggest that hedge fund activism generates substantial long-term value for Target Firms and its long-term shareholders when they function as a shareholder advocate to monitor management through active board engagement. Furthermore, contrary to conventional wisdom and extant literature, hedge fund activists that seek board representation are focused on long-term corporate initiatives to increase shareholder value rather than a perceived short-term agenda. It is very common for hedge fund activists to seek replacement of the incumbent management team to accomplish the activist’s strategic plan as opposed to forcing a "sale of the company" ex post the board seat grant date.]]>
