Sandell Asset Management is an international alternative asset management firm specializing in global event-driven investing, including merger arbitrage, corporate restructurings, and activist investing. Founded in 1998 by Thomas Sandell, the firm identifies investment opportunities created by corporate events across various industries, including healthcare and life sciences. While the firm has historically taken significant activist positions in healthcare companies to drive shareholder value, it is a financial institution rather than a biotechnology or pharmaceutical developer. Sandell is headquartered in New York and has historically maintained a presence in London to manage its international portfolio. The firm is known for its rigorous fundamental analysis and its role in high-profile corporate engagements.
