ValueAct Capital is a San Francisco based investment company that manages more than $11 billion on behalf of several institutional and individual investors. The company is a privately owned head fund sponsor that provides its services to high net worth individuals and institutions. It invests in both the public equity and hedging markets.
ValueAct Capital was initially formed in June 2000 to manage the capital of its founders, along with the capital of a limited number of outside investors.
ValueAct Capital is a very active investor that identifies companies that appear to be out of favor, or may be undergoing a significant transition. ValueAct makes a significant investment into the company and then works with the company to make changes with goal of increasing long-term stock value and thus creating a profit for ValueAct.
In May of 2013 ValueAct Capital revealed that it had purchased $2 billion worth of Microsoft stock (less than 1%). Shortly there after the company made public announcements that it sought to join the board of Microsoft if the company did not increase its stock price through a stock buy back program or a larger dividend. The threat was seen as one of the reasons that Steve Ballmer decided to leave Microsoft.

Hail me as the foe
Of light and day alike-
Hail me as the scourge
Of Gods and men that strive
For order in this world-
All hail Loki, the melevolent!
"In darkness I plot and scheme,
With the fiends of the abyss...
One day I shall be back,
To show the Aesir the power of the One,
The power of Loki, the malevolent!"
Hail me as the enemy
Of Odin's shining reign-
Hail me as the Lord
Of the abomination of frost!
My name is Loki
Leader of the ravenous host!
My day shall come,
And it shall dawn red-
Dyed with the gore
