Q. I am interested in following activist investors' actions. Who are the top activist investors?
A. Activist investors have had many successes in the past three decades, starting from corporate raiders (with Carl Icahn being the first of that group) to collaborative investors (working with corporate board and management teams to institute major changes), they put money where their mouths are.
It's a good idea to follow the best of the best activist investors, here is a list to consider (leader manager and number of active holdings in parentheses):
