One of the most powerful modern pathways for global change is currently not well-known. Shareholders’ voting rights are appropriated by major fund managers and often used to vote against the values of most shareholders. We encourage all clients to vote their shares at an annual shareholders meeting, or more likely, via proxy online. Your political vote may not carry much weight, but the votes of shareholders control corporate actions. Collectively, regular people’s shares can change the corporate landscape.
Diogenes Financial encourages clients to take an active role as a shareholder by voting and submitting shareholder proposals to companies they own.
Proxy Voting Criteria
