Over 40 years of investment experience
Over 25 years of shareholder activism in undervalued financial companies
Since 2000, members or affiliates of The Stilwell Group have taken an activist position
in the following 79 publicly-traded companies*. In each instance, our purpose has been to profit
from the appreciation in the market price of the shares we held by asserting shareholder rights.
In addition, we believed that the values of the companies’ assets were not adequately reflected
in the market prices of their shares.
After we asserted shareholder rights, the following issuers were sold or merged:
