About Jeffrey Smith
Jeffrey Smith runs Starboard Value, the most prolific board-seat activist of its era — famously replacing Darden Restaurants' entire board in 2014 — with campaigns spanning technology, consumer, and healthcare companies.
Starboard's 13F is a live campaign roster: concentrated stakes in companies undergoing (or about to undergo) operational and governance pressure, with turnover tracking the lifecycle of each activist engagement.

Portfolio Metrics
Methodology: turnover is min(value bought, value sold) ÷ average reported value across the two quarters — value-based, so market moves inflate it slightly versus a share-based measure. Concentration and largest position are shares of the filing’s total reported value, options excluded. New/exited counts compare against the prior filed quarter. All figures derive solely from the fund’s 13F filings.
