CIRCA’s mission is to get out the facts about activist investing and the role activist investors play in our economy. Activist investors directly benefit all public shareholders, including the investment vehicles for all of the country’s stock based savings vehicles, such as mutual funds and public and private pension funds. We seek to promote a dialogue that respects the value created by activist investors and fosters their involvement in improving the governance and business policies of all of our public companies, which are so vital to our economy and the health of our public and private pension systems.
CIRCA recently released an updated white paper titled “The Williams Act: A Truly ‘Modern’ Assessment” that explores the historical perspective of the Williams Act, the evolution of corporate governance and how Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission should cautiously approach new interest in implementing piecemeal reform to existing statute.
