Sherborne vs Electra: What the analysts say

As the war of words between Sherborne Investors and Electra Private Equity intensifies, FN looks at analysts' reactions

The war of words between Sherborne Investors and Electra Private Equity intensified on Wednesday after Sherborne issued a letter proposing a number of changes at the London-based private equity firm. Here is a look at what the analysts think.

Sherborne, the firm led by activist investor Edward Bramson, now owns 20% of shares in Electra. Tensions between the two companies have been building ahead of a meeting on October 6 between the board of Electra and Sherborne, where the latter will attempt to overhaul the board of directors at the private equity firm.
