Companies	Position	End
Shamrock Partners Activist Value Fund LLC Shamrock Partners Activist Value Fund LLC Investment ManagersFinance Shamrock's theory of activist investing relies on the ability of an influential shareholder to steer corporate decisions in a manner that will unlock shareholder value. Their first step involves several rigorous stages of financial analysis to filter for potential targets. The firm's goal is to uncover companies that have a trading value that is discounted to the intrinsic value of the underlying business. From potential targets, Shamrock focuses on companies that can significantly benefit from the implementation of an activist investment approach. An investigation is conducted of the corporation's business strategy, structure and governance, as well as the company's shareholder base. Shamrock then formulates a plan to accumulate an ownership position in the company and a comprehensive strategy to unlock the hidden value of the investment through both activist and non-activist measures After selecting the portfolio company and developing the investment strategy, the firm uses various acquisition strategies to achieve an influential position within the company. They then attempt to work with the company's management and Board to implement the plan. When Shamrock determines that the company's share price reflects the results of their value-enhancement measures, they begin to exit the investment.	Chief Investment Officer	30/01/2010
