Hi, it’s Crystal Tse in New York. Happy Friday. Today I’m bringing you highlights from an on-air chat my colleagues did with a top activism banker at Barclays. Plus we have an updates on sale efforts by Abcam and BlackBerry and two big IPO filings.
Today’s top stories
Jim Rossman, global head of shareholder activism and advisory defense at Barclays, joined the bank last year after more than a decade at Lazard. He sat down with us on Bloomberg TV’s Scarlet Fu and Sonali Basak this week to explain where he thinks $2.5 trillion in dry powder will likely end up, as well as the differences between the aging lions of activism and the new wolf pack that is taking their place. —Crystal Tse
