PhD candidate Elias Ohneberg and Pedro Saffi, Professor of Financial Economics and Director of the Master of Finance (MFin) Programme at Cambridge Judge Business School, are featured in this article about how much impact employee happiness has on investment returns. Institutional Investing | 7 April 2021 Large short sellers in the area? Activist campaigns are more likely to succeed A study on hedge fund activism co-authored by Dr Pedro Saffi, Reader in Financial Economics at Cambridge Judge Business School, featured in the article. The study found that “activist investors are more likely to start new campaigns in companies that have already attracted the interest of large short sellers.” Dr Saffi commented: “Often, it’s much more difficult to be a short seller than an activist. The typical position of a hedge fund activist tends to be larger than the larger short sellers. Often, activists create a kind of coalition, called wolfpacks, to try to implement changes with management.” BBC | 19 February 2021 World Business Report Dr Pedro Saffi, Reader in Financial Economics and Director of the Master of Finance at Cambridge Judge Business School, recently appeared on BBC commenting on US congressional hearings on GameStock share trading. Dr Saffi went on to say that lots of professional investors are going to start paying much more attention than they do at the moment in the market sentiment that is coming from those small investors on Reddit. “People were very surprised by the fact that the hedge funds and other large investors were kind of beaten up by the small traders that were following that Reddit forum.”
