In September 2018, JANA launched Spark, an online portal designed to showcase JANA’s thought leadership and insights. Our objective is to make it easy for our clients to access insights in a convenient and timely way, complementing the relationship they have with their JANA consulting team. Spark is intended to ignite conversations about investment opportunities and topical issues. We will upload a broad range of content at least monthly, ranging from JANA white papers, videos, audio content, insightful commentary, market and economic data as well draw focus to interesting manager-produced content. Access to JANA Spark is only available to clients and trusted partners.
