In the letter ValueAct sent to clients, the firm said it built its roughly $1.2 billion Citigroup position over the last four to five months and is adding to it “opportunistically.”
ValueAct added that the bank could return about $50 billion in cash to shareholders over the next two years, according to the letter.
