Forbes – Patrick Degorce, a founder and partner at high-profile activist hedge fund firm The Children’s Investment Fund (TCI), has left the company, a spokeswoman told Reuters on Friday.
Degorce was in the public eye in early 2007 when he wrote a high-profile letter on behalf of shareholder TCI to Dutch bank ABN Amro criticising its ‘terrible shareholder return’ and calling on it to look at a break-up, spin-off, sale or merger of units or the business as a whole.
ABN was later sold to a consortium led by Royal Bank of Scotland for about 70 billion euros ($95.73 billion).
