We view ourselves as stewards of shareholder’s capital and believe by working constructively with company management and the board we become a catalyst for positive change.

• In public companies, the shareholder’s voice gets diluted due to distributed ownership and frequent shareholder turnover
• As a result it is common for management and Boards to begin placing the “interests of the company” (growth imperative) before the interests of the owners (return on investment)
• Owners often want to participate in the decision making process but don’t have a vehicle to do so. Engaged Capital becomes the voice for the shareholders.
• We bring an owner’s point of view to the governance and decision making process in a helpful, constructive way through a combination of:
  • Concentrated ownership (typically one of the largest shareholders)
  • A long-term perspective (2-5 year holding periods)
  • Deep research and value-added insights for increasing the company’s worth
  • We typically seek board representation to ensure management and boards act on behalf of all shareholders in a timely manner
