In Top M&A Deals, BlackRock, Vanguard Are Always on Both Sides



....Take some of the largest proposed mergers of the past year: The Big Three, at the time the deals were announced, on average owned about 20% of the acquiring companies and their targets.

For example, when Raytheon Co. and United Technologies Corp. announced their merger, BlackRock held about 8.1% of the former and 6.3% of the latter, while Vanguard owned 8.1% and 6.7%, respectively, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. State Street’s stake was 4.4% and 10.5%, the data show.

The asset managers argue those holdings don’t come close to tipping the outcomes of mergers. They say their influence is overstated because they don’t cast votes as a bloc, and also highlight the difference between a company’s largest shareholders — which could add up to a relatively small stake — and a controlling shareholder that owns a majority of shares.

Some academics, however, have found that existing levels of common ownership increase the likelihood of companies merging and reduce the premiums that sellers receive. The authors conclude that cross-ownership gives the acquirers in deals an information advantage about their targets’ true value. And the parties involved have “superior two-sided information” compared with those who operate only on one side of the deal.

Institutional investors' interests have been piqued by widespread speculation that bidders are circling GKP. US giant ExxonMobil, which has bet heavily on the region, has run the slide rule over the company, with rumours suggesting that Chinese giant, Sinopec, has also mulled an offer.

Seems you are paranoid steephill. I am just a retired guy who handles his own investments to try and subsidise my oap.But that's the trouble on this thread - nobody can stand any questioning. You have to be an obsessions tamper or damper. I am neither. I want them to do well as I hold and have held gkp since Todd Kozel and John Wernsteiner days. Been through it all from euphoria to total despair. The bitter anti Todd days splitting our group in half. It's been one hell of a ride and I hope for a fairy tale ending but just read this whole blog. It's full of nutters!
