VALUE INVESTORS FOCUS OF TURNAROUND TACTICIAN NEWSLETTER

The Turnaround Tacticians are the investors who find undervalued companies, study them, and sometimes buy large chunks of them, giving these investors access to top officials who often heed their advice. When all goes well, the value of these investments rises, earning the active investors a nice reward. The Turnaround Tactician is the monthly newsletter that allows its readers to follow the progress of these high end investors issue to issue without risking their own capital - until they're ready.

As demand rises for good-company investments, one newsletter emerges to follow the companies the value investors are putting their money into.

The brainchild of prize-winning journalist Maureen Nevin Duffy, whose Corporate Governance Fund Report was highly praised by industry leaders, Turnaround Tactician affords the smaller investor, whether individual or institutional, the opportunity to follow the actions of investment advisers who act with the benefit of deep research and detailed knowledge of the companies, sometimes gained by actually obtaining seats on corporate boards. Anyone can ride on the coattails of the best and brightest of the investment community by reading Turnaround Tactician.

The investment advisors that T.T. follows, such as Ralph Whitworth and his Relational Investors, Burt Denton and his Providence Capital, Andrew Shapiro and his Lawndale Capital Management LLC, and Guy Wyser-Pratte of WPM, are entrusted with the investment capital of large pension funds, corporations and high net worth individuals. Often these advisors are chosen because of the high corporate governance principles they apply in selecting companies and in influencing their direction.

This is what others are saying about The Turnaround Tactician:

Your newsletter looks interesting. I think it is a solid concept in current market conditions, and would find an audience even in the midst of a dot-com bubble. -- John Prestbo, Financial Markets Editor and Author (e.g., The Wall Street Journal Book of International Investing: Everything You Need to Know about Investing in Foreign Markets (Hyperion-1997) with Douglas Sease, and other works.)

Ms. Duffy asks the probing questions that get to the heart of the tactics and goals of our turnaround projects. Her approach leads to reports exemplifying objectivity and integrity. -- Andrew Shapiro, President and Managing Member, Lawndale Capital Management LLC

The Turnaround Tactician is Maureen Nevin Duffy's new vehicle to report on activist or relational investors. These are typically "value" investors who don't buy and wait. They buy and use their governance know-how to turn companies around by unlocking that value, sometimes working with management, sometimes pushing back. Want to know what Relational Investors, Providence Capital, and others are up to? Duffy is the closest we have to a journalist on the front lines of corporate governance investing. She gives you the straight scoop and we can't wait to see her latest venture take off. Click here to see a sample issue.

Investing with the Activists

A growing body of research is finding a link between corporate governance activism and share value. Independent journalist Maureen Nevin Duffy, formerly editor of the Corporate Governance Fund Report, is now tracking gains achieved by some of the large corporate governance investors who undertake the heavy lifting. Duffy's new "Turnaround Tactician" tracks the holdings of large active investors and their changing share values. The proactive investors usually take positions in undervalued companies with the intention of turning them around; hence, the title.
