Activist hedge fund Starboard hires analyst from Blackrock’s stewardship team

Activist hedge fund Starboard hires analyst from Blackrock’s stewardship team

Activist investor Starboard Value LP poached an analyst from asset manager BlackRock’s investment stewardship team. And that exerts great influence on issues such as climate change and board makeup that often are critical to the hedge fund’s campaigns. Starboard hired Mack Abbot, a vice president at BlackRock who worked for the world’s largest asset manager for nearly four years, for its investment team, the sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The move marks the second departure from BlackRock’s investment stewardship team in two months as well as an unusual step in which one of the team’s analysts is leaving to join an investment management firm not a bank. Starboard, run by CEO Jeffrey Smith, has long been one of the industry’s busiest and most powerful activist investors. They are pushing for change at companies ranging from restaurant chain Darden to internet company Box, often trying the remove the CEO. BlackRock and index funds Vanguard Group and State Street help determine the outcome of many proxy fights because they generally own huge stakes in targeted companies. With $9 trillion in assets under management, BlackRock recently signaled that it is taking a much tougher stance on climate and sustainability issues.

How is the bond yield controlled in Japan?

BlackRock’s investment stewardship group employs dozens of people globally including about half a dozen analysts in the United States who vote on hundreds of proposals annually. BlackRock last month said that Ray Cameron, who had been the head of investment stewardship for the Americas for three years, would be moving to another position within BlackRock’s institutional client business. A number of former analysts and executives, including Cameron’s predecessor Zach Oleksiuk who joined investment bank Evercore, now work for banks defending against activists.
