An activist U.S. hedge fund on Thursday threw a spanner in the works of Samsung Group's restructuring by opposing a merger which would allow the controlling Lee family to consolidate their holdings ahead of a successional change of leadership. In a rare instance of investor activism in South Korea, hedge fund Elliott revealed it had built a major stake in construction firm Samsung C&T Corp and announced its opposition to Cheil Industries Inc's $8 billion takeover offer.
