The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating whether some activist investors teamed up to target companies without disclosing their alliances, potentially in violation of federal securities rules, according to people familiar with the matter.
The SEC’s enforcement division has recently opened multiple investigations and sent requests for information to a number of hedge funds, according to some of the people. Neither the names of the funds nor the companies they targeted could immediately be ascertained.
SEC representatives didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
