'In order to create alpha right now, activism is number one in my book, and I think that's true in any market,' Jamie Dinan said.
York Capital Management founder Jamie Dinan said he's a "a big fan" of activism, but the work he has done is "behind the scenes."
"In order to create alpha right now, activism is number one in my book, and I think that's true in any market," the hedge fund manager said at the Project Punch Card Conference in New York City on Wednesday. "We'd meet with the CFO, but we won't go public. We don't want to be a disrupter because we don't want to embarrass anyone," Dinan said.
