Define activist as it applies to hedge funds, please.
In general, activist hedge funds invest to influence the management in some way that will bring about a return for the fund.
wait, what?
and I didn't think GAMCO was a hedge fund ... they're an asset manager.
you're right, they're not. i corrected my original post. it's a list of funds, not necessarily hedge funds.
Asset managers can have multiple products ranging from mutual funds to hedge funds.
