US-based hedged fund Elliott Management is seeking the support of BHP Billiton’s retail investors for its proposed restructuring strategy for the resources giant. Elliott has also launched a revised website pitched at institutional investors. The activist hedge fund has accused BHP’s management of being responsible for the loss of some $US40bn ($A51bn) of shareholder wealth due to poor decisions. Elliott’s proposed reforms include scrapping BHP’s dual listing structure.
