- catalog abstract "This study examines the effect of the presence of "activist" institutional investors on firm performance. I analyze the U.S. Fortune 500, 1982-1994, using a proprietary database of activism ratings of institutional investors compiled by the largest U.S. proxy solicitation firm. Pooled, cross-sectional time series models indicate that the presence of an activist investment company institutional investor as the single largest shareholder is negatively associated with unrelated diversification, and positively associated with performance. These results suggest that the credible threat of voice causes certain activist institutional investors to serve and important monitoring role in corporate governance.".
