El fondo de Paul Singer habría comprado US$1.000M en acciones de Anglo American

Elliott Investment Management habría acumulado una participación de unos US$1.000 millones en la minera Anglo American Plc, según personas conocedoras del asunto. Esto aumenta la presión sobre la empresa luego que rechazara una oferta de compra de la australiana BHP Group Ltd.

El fondo de cobertura, dirigido por el multimillonario Paul Singer, acumuló la participación en los últimos meses, dijeron las personas que pidieron no ser identificadas por discutir información confidencial. El tamaño de la participación sitúa a Elliott entre los 10 mayores accionistas de Anglo American, según datos recopilados por Bloomberg.

Las acciones de Anglo American subieron hasta un 4,4% en Londres después de que Bloomberg News informara de la participación. Los representantes de Elliott y Anglo American declinaron hacer comentarios.

Esta semana BHP propuso una adquisición que valora a la más pequeña Anglo American en £31.100 millones (US$38.900 millones) y crearía el mayor productor mundial de cobre. Bloomberg News informó el miércoles de la propuesta de BHP. Anglo American dijo que la propuesta subvalora significativamente a la empresa.

Anglo American ha sido considerada durante mucho tiempo como un objetivo potencial entre las mayores mineras, en particular porque posee atractivas operaciones de cobre en Sudamérica en un momento en que la mayor parte de la industria está ansiosa por añadir reservas y producción.

Sin embargo, su complicada estructura y sus inversiones en otras materias primas, así como su fuerte exposición a Sudáfrica, han desanimado a los oferentes. En febrero, Anglo American registró una fuerte caída de sus ganancias y redujo su dividendo debido a la caída de la demanda de diamantes y metales de su grupo del platino, materias primas exclusivas de su cartera.

BHP ha propuesto un acuerdo en el que Anglo cedería primero a sus accionistas el control de las empresas sudafricanas de platino y mineral de hierro.

Elliott tomó una posición considerable en BHP en 2017 y la presionó para que escindiera ciertos activos petroleros. En 2021, la minera acordó vender algunas operaciones de petróleo y gas a Woodside Petroleum Ltd.

La firma de Singer también se ha involucrado con otras empresas de metales. En 2022, Elliott mantuvo conversaciones con Kinross Gold Corp. que resultaron en recompra de acciones por valor de US$300 millones. Además, es el accionista mayoritario en Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp, que proporciona financiación a empresas mineras. También está creando una nueva empresa, Hyperion, para invertir en activos mineros.
