Your mutual fund votes on your behalf at shareholder meetings every year.
We're providing tools to help investors put their voting power to use, whether they own individual stocks or mutual funds.
A firm is owned by its shareholders, and by law shareholders have the right to vote on key matters of corporate business. This electoral process is called "proxy voting."
ProxyDemocracy is nonprofit project directed by a graduate student and supported by foundations interested in being engaged shareowners.
We collect proxy voting data from SEC filings and the websites of transparency-minded institutional investors.
