The so-called Schedule 13-D filing is currently set at 10 days, which gives hedge funds more than a week to keep buying in secret. "Right now, if you've crossed the 5% threshold on day one, and you have 10 days to file, that activist might in that period of time, just go up from five to 6% or they might go from five to 15% but there's nine days that the selling shareholders in the public don't know that information," Gensler said.
