Stephen Harper, the former Canadian prime minister, is teaming up with ex-Icahn Enterprises LP portfolio manager Courtney R. Mather to launch a “constructive” activist fund, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
The duo have begun discussions with prospective investors ahead of a formal launch of their firm, known as Vision One, in 2022, said the person, who requested anonymity because the talks are private.
