CFA Practice Question

If a hedge fund engages in things like management replacements, capital structure changes, and expenditure cuts, such a fund is mostly likely pursuing a ______ strategy.
A. restructuring.
B. activist.
C. special situation.
Explanation: Most hedge funds invest using unconventional strategies, but others take a more active role in realizing the value in their investments - these are known as activist hedge funds. Activist hedge funds not only engage the company's board and management in discussion, but also wage proxy battles, liquidate assets and even force sales of companies.
