One determining factor that has a huge influence on a company’s trajectory is the company’s leadership team. Whether it is a country, a local municipality or a publicly traded company, the leadership team and especially the Chief Executive at the top have a huge influence on outcomes. Given short tenures for publicly traded company CEOs and especially CFOs, we are launching a new strategy at InsideArbitrage to track not just C-Suite appointments and departures, but to understand the impact these new leaders had at their prior companies.
When we launched Inside Arbitrage a little over four years ago, we started with two event-driven strategies including merger arbitrage and insider transactions. Over time, we started tracking spinoffs, buybacks and SPACs and built several tools and screeners for these five strategies. With the launch of our sixth strategy today, we will be publishing a weekly article called “C-Suite Transitions” to discuss these management changes. Premium subscribers can access both appointments and departures in our new C-Suite Transitions tool. As always, you can adjust your settings on Inside Arbitrage to turn on or turn off notifications when we publish articles for the various strategies we report on.
