Elliott’s Changing Nature

If taking a minority public stake and pushing an activist agenda doesn’t work? … why not just take the company private.
This is the transition that has been going on at Elliott, the famous hedge fund, over the past several years.
Apart from Citrix and Athenahealth (the recent sale made them $5bn of profit) they have done a bunch of other deals (see table).
Interestingly, this is all being done out of one fund. The lines between private and public markets continue to blur.
