After Envestnet rebuffed an ESG hedge fund's demand for a board seat, the fund managers sent a shrill, scalding letter in retaliation to force the issue

The Berwyn, Pa., firm invited invective by allegedly stiff-arming the startup ESG fund's request, even though it holds a 7.2% stake in the company.

Impactive is correct - Envestnet has skated along far too long without delivering anything new of real value to the investment community. To the extent the market allows such a concern to trade at the ridiculous multiple it does based on a turnaround story, probably has more to do with easy money than any real expectations of an organic turnaround occuring. I side w/ Impactive on this - but seems like they're going to have to raise their stake to 15%, or wait for the company's shares to collapse before they get any traction. Impactive will get an opportunity, they'll just need to be patient.
