Tiivistelmä: | This study models corporate voting outcomes when an informed trader, e.g. a hedge fund, can set separate positions in a firm's shares and votes. It is found that the trader's presence can enhance efficiency overall in spite of the fact that it sometimes ends up selling to a net short position and then voting in order to decrease firm value. An efficiency improvement is likely if other shareholders' votes are not highly correlated with the correct decision etc. |
