Abstract

Jana Partners, a well-known “activist” hedge fund has announced the launch of a new fund Jana Impact. The basic premise is that the fund will be able to generate superior returns by using Jana’s activist approach with companies that are underperforming on ESG metrics. The case examines the history of activist investing and Jana’s proposed approach in unlocking ESG value.
