Jon Feldman interviewed in "Shareholder Activism in Canada", Risk & Compliance Magazine
Risk & Compliance Magazine recently sat down with Jonathan Feldman for a one-on-one interview on shareholder activism in Canada:
R&C: What factors are driving activist campaigns in Canada?
Feldman: There continues to be interest in the mining space generally, particularly the gold sector. Much of what drives this activity is the view of shareholders that these companies continue to underperform, in large part as a result of incompetent management and disengaged boards.
