Ancora Advisors Portfolio holdings
Ancora Advisors manages portfolios for individuals, mutual funds and institutions such as pension plans, and its parent, Ancora Holdings Group, pushes for change at the companies it invests in. Ancora Holdings Group, founded in 2003, won two seats on the C.H. Robinson board and ousted the chief executive there, and in 2024 it led an investor group that bought into Norfolk Southern and fought for seats on the railroad's board. Ancora Advisors screens for two kinds of stocks: companies priced well below what their assets would fetch in liquidation or as a going business, and companies trading below the intrinsic value set by its own Normalized Return analysis. Focus Financial Partners, based in New York, bought Ancora Holdings Group in 2021, and Ancora Advisors is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Focus.
