Dentons is pleased to host a Women in Capital Markets lunch and learn

The rise of activist investing has sparked debate across markets, boardrooms and even political campaigns: Are activist shareholders good or bad for business? There has been a marked rise of activist investing over the past several years, with hedge-fund figures such as Nelson Peltz,William Ackman and Daniel Loeb buying up stakes in some of the nation's biggest companies, such as Procter & Gamble Co., Yahoo Inc. and Apple Inc., pushing for changes from buybacks to breakups. To help you decide whether activist investing is good or bad from business, you'll hear from supporters and detractors at this Dentons session.
