We are looking for sustainable dividends from companies under pressure from activist investors

Activist investors are once again in the spotlight, with U.S. investment firm Elliott Investment Management targeting U.S. airline Southwest Airlines Co.

Activists typically take a significant shareholding in what they see as underachieving companies and then push for change. Their demands are often for seats on the board of directors or a call for the target company to jettison subsidiaries to increase shareholder dividends or share buyback programs.
