☆ Activist investor Peltz kicks off battle for Disney board seat
  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
[1/2] Nelson Peltz founding partner of Trian Fund Management LP. The prominent activist investor's Trian Fund Management on Thursday filed documents with the U.S. securities regulator for his election as a director at Disney after the company denied him a board seat.

Trian Fund Management owns roughly $900 million worth of Disney stock, which equates to about 0.5% stake, under the disclosure threshold of 5%. Sources familiar with Disney have said he has only leveled criticisms without offering possible solutions.

  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Jennifer Saba | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
NEW YORK, Jan 12 (Reuters Breakingviews) - It’s sadly fitting that Walt Disney (DIS.N) persists with Mickey Mouse corporate governance. The $176 billion entertainment empire on Wednesday appointed Nike (NKE.N) Chairman Mark Parker to run its board, too. Parker, who has been a director at Disney since 2016, was around for all of it. Parker has been a Disney director since 2016, and he also serves as executive chairman of Nike. Disney also said that shareholder Trian Partners had nominated founding partner Nelson Peltz to serve on the company’s board.

It said 80% of its close to $8 trillion in assets are in its index funds, which primarily attract retail investors. Vanguard's biggest competitors, BlackRock Inc (BLK.N) and State Street Corp's (STT.N) asset-management arm, rely more on institutional investors including pension funds and foundations. Many retail investors are also interested in matters like climate change, but prioritize them less in building retirement portfolios, said Rosenbluth and other industry analysts. A FINRA Investor Education Foundation study of retail investors last March found only 9% of respondents held ESG investments. A big factor behind this gap is retail investors' lack of familiarity or knowledge about ESG products, the study found.
☆ A proposed H-1B visa fee increase threatens to kneecap Silicon Valley's ability to hire the foreign talent it needs to compete
  + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Paayal Zaveri | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The tech industry relies on skilled-work visas for foreign hires in a system critics say is broken. Now the USCIS is proposing fee hikes for visa applications, at a time when it's already challenging.

While the proposed fee hikes are presented as a solution to end backlogs and address bureaucratic headaches, experts say they would make it more difficult to hire foreign talent. Are you an H-1B visa holder and have a story to share?

Numerous VCs told Insider the past two years had felt like an out-of-control celebration with many "now looking around at the aftermath and thinking about tidying up.
