We’ve recently posted another episode of our “Understanding Activism with John & J.T.” podcast. This time, J.T. Ho and I were joined by LDG Advisory’s Lauren Gojkovich. We discussed a range of topics relating to value investors’ approach to activism. Topics covered during this 30-minute podcast include:

– Key motivators for value investors.
– The most and least productive ways to engage with value investors.
– The best way to engage with a value investor who is on the board.
– Factors driving the recent trend toward quicker settlements with activists.
– Increasing quality of value investor candidates for board positions.
– Key takeaways for companies from recent value investor activism successes.
– Thoughts on how value investing may evolve over the next few years.

This podcast series is intended to share perspectives on key issues and developments in shareholder activism from representatives of both public companies and activists. We continue to record new podcasts, and they’re full of practical and engaging insights from true experts – so stay tuned!
