Follow TCI's Activism To The Bank (TAC, UNP, CSX).

The Children's Investment Fund (TCI) is a bit of an enigma. The U.K.-based hedge fund has a reputation for ruthless shareholder activism and it has returned about 40% for its individual investors since inception, yet this harsh exterior is softened by a charitable foundation - quite literally. A portion of the fees the fund collects from investors goes toward the Children's Investment Fund Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting AIDS in Africa and various other activities designed to help the lives of children. Activist investor Christopher Cooper-Hohn, manager of TCI, has been at work buying large shares of publicly traded companies in order to change management and drive shareholder value. Investors who believe in this give-and-take philosophy of activist investors may be able to follow TCI's lead by choosing investments on the hedge fund's hit list.

Let's have a look at how they have faired under the fund's watchful gaze. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
