Title: The Long Term Effects Of Hedge Fund Activism in Germany Abstract: I address the question of whether hedge fund activist investments in public German companies create value. Since the German capital market is becoming more and more attractive especially for activist hedge funds, it is essential to understand the impact activist shareholders have on public firms. Since the existing literature is not able to answer this question consistently, I would like to close large parts of this knowledge gap. I hypothesise that activist shareholders have a positive abnormal stock effect on target companies. At the same time these shareholders have a positive effect on operative measures of target companies as well.
