Trian, founded by Nelson Peltz, Ed Garden and Peter May, held
8.9 million shares in P&G at the end of the first quarter, down
9.6% from the 9.8 million shares it owned at the end of the
fourth quarter, according to a regulatory filing.
Peltz joined the P&G board in 2018 after a bitter proxy contest.
The firm also cut its stake in Mondelez by 23% to hold 9.4
million shares.
The so-called 13F filings show what fund managers owned at the
end of the first quarter and while they are backward-looking,
they are closely watched for clues on trends and what stocks
certain fund managers are favoring.
New York-based Trian is known for proposing operational fixes at
its portfolio companies, often through white papers. The
activist firm presents itself as a partner that can offer
constructive advice rather than the corporate raider intent on
breaking companies apart.
