A number of things have started to spur my interest in activist hedge funds and I have started an internal project involving such funds. You know the type, the Carl Icahn's and Pershing Square Capitals of the world. When first I began writing Going Private, it was never my intent to use it as a forum for soliciting reader help. I, after all, am providing a service to you- not the other way around. Be that as it may, I am curious if any of Going Private 's readers know if a comprehensive (or nearly comprehensive) list of funds with activist strategies exists, or how a vaguely representative list of such funds might be assembled. The winning entry will get lunch with Equity Private. (Well, ok, not really).
