Event-driven investing evolved from special situations analysis described by Benjamin Graham. Joel Greenblatt's 'You Can Be a Stock Market Genius' (1997) popularized spinoffs, mergers, and restructurings for individual investors. Activist investing, a subset of event-driven strategies, was shaped by Carl Icahn, Nelson Peltz, and Bill Ackman. Academic research by Mitchell and Pulvino (2001) documented the risk-return profile of merger arbitrage, while distressed debt investing was refined by Howard Marks at Oaktree Capital.
