Tobias Carlisle, author of Deep Value and The Acquirer's Multiple:
Cunningham has written a highly engaging, eminently readable book on an important, but as-yet-unheralded shareholder cohort, the Quality Shareholders. Quality Shareholders--engaged, long-term investors who can provide management with a sounding board and constructive criticism--may be the solution to rising transience and short-termism pervading markets. Cunningham describes how managers who run their companies to attract Quality Shareholders, and investors who strive to exhibit those qualities, contribute to the common good.

David Kass, University of Maryland:
Quality Shareholders highlights the close correlation between patient long-term investors and companies focusing on long-term strategies and profits. Its numerous examples of successfully run corporations with such dedicated shareholders will be of interest to individual and institutional investors alike.
