Sammendrag
In this thesis, we study the effects of shareholder activism announcement on company stock returns.

We focus on an announcement in the Government Pension Fund Global, on the 23rd of November

2004. We perform an event study where we use a control-firm approach, as well as the Fama-

French three-factor model to estimate cumulative abnormal returns in ±1, ±3, and ±6 day(s) event

windows. In testing the significance of abnormal performance, simple regressions and t-tests yield a

biased result because of issues of event clustering. When mitigating cross-correlation in abnormal

returns, using the adjusted BMP-test (Kolari & Pynnönen, 2010), no significant announcement

effect is observed. This is supported by a supplementary non-parametric test.
