摘要

After laying siege to several big Euro-pean firms, including ABN AMRO, a now-dismembered bank, Chris Hohn has got into trouble with csx, an American railway company. Financially, the investment by the Children's Investment Fund (TCI), Mr Hohn's activist fund, has been impressive: since it bought csx shares in October 2006, they have almost doubled. But the firm has resisted TCI by employing hardball tactics of its own, including taking the fund to court and accusing it of illegally building its position by stealth.rnThe damage to tci from the court's decision is reputational. After ruling that tci should have earlier disclosed its position, Lewis Kaplan, the judge, said parts of the testimony of Mr Hohn, and his colleague, Snehal Amin, were "not credible", "incredible" and even "borderlingl on the absurd". The case also reveals juicy details about how tci operates. It pays big commissions to its prime brokers (a total of $99m since the end of 2005). And Mr Hohn is relentless. After buying the initial stake, tci repeatedly lobbied csx's management and its advisers, proposing a buy-out and board changes, tci slowly built its exposure using derivatives, and, according to Judge Kaplan, told other funds about csx in order "to steer csx shares into the hands of like-minded associates".
