SHAREHOLDER activism in Asia is expected to continue to grow at a steady pace, as the practice becomes increasingly accepted and weaves itself into the fabric of Asian capital markets, according to a JPMorgan report released on Monday.
In 2017, the number of activist campaigns in Asia grew to 106, accounting for 31 per cent of total non-US activism activity, up from 12 per cent in 2011. On its own, Singapore accounted for 14 per cent of activism activity in Asia in 2017.
