2 High-Yielding Stocks That Carl Icahn's One-Time Right-Hand Man Holds — And You Can, Too

Corvex Management was founded in 2011 by Carl Icahn’s former right-hand man Keith Meister, and saw its assets double by 2013. Activist investor Meister used Icahn’s philosophy of being contrarian and aggressive and he received $1 billion in seed capital from George Soros.

Corvex Management currently has $2.9 billion in assets under management, down from its peak in mid-2015 of approximately $9 billion. Additionally, Meister became the largest shareholder in Yum! Brands, Inc. YUM in 2015, looking for a seat on the board and to make operational changes, such as selling KFC Eleven and Super Chix.
