Shareholder activism focused on generating trading profits for the activist investor continues to occur on an unprecedented scale in the U.S. At its core, financial activism challenges the primacy of the corporate board, its role as the principal overseer of management, and its vision of the best interests of the company and its shareholders. The dynamics of the U.S. financial markets today allow management less time to deliver results, and impose higher expectations on the board in the performance of its duty of oversight.
