Calgary oil explorer Bellatrix target of activist investor Orange Partners
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY – Calgary oil and gas developer Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. (TSX:BXE) has become the target of a U.S. activist investor.
New York-based Orange Capital LLC disclosed in regulatory filings Tuesday that it’s bought a 5.3 per cent stake in Bellatrix, which has operations in British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The hedge fund said it plans to talk to the management of Bellatrix about ways to “maximize shareholder value.”
That could include hiring an outside adviser to make recommendations on “strategic alternatives, capital allocation and improved investor communications” as well as making changes to the energy company’s board of directors.
Orange also wants Bellatrix to take steps to bring its valuation “in line with its intrinsic value,” adding the company currently lags its Canadian peers.
As well, it wants Bellatrix to stop diluting its share price by issuing stock and to explore a potential joint-venture, spinout or sale of its midstream assets
Shares in Bellatrix were up more than eight per cent at $8…

Should I get out of my high-fee mutual funds?
– moneysense.ca
Q: I’ve been with a big investment firm for about 7-8 years now. I like our adviser, but I keep hearing that the firm’s management fees are some of the highest in the business. Is it costly to switch to a new, perhaps fee-based adviser and get into new financial products?—KeithA: Fees are important when it comes to investing, Keith, though different advisers provide different levels of service that don’t necessarily coincide with their fees. You shouldn’t always opt for the lowest fee option without assessing what you get in return for what you pay. But since fees are cumulative, you want to make sure you’re minimizing them to the extent possible.
Your firm tends to have fees that are high relative to some other mutual fund companies. I say this in particular given the size of some of their funds, which should allow them to reduce fees due to economies of scale. Your Series A mutual fund has an annual management expense ratio (MER) of 2.39%. The average Canadian equity mutual fund has a comparable MER of 2…
