Explore key drivers for pass-through voting.

While investors in equities have always been able to vote proxies, the funds sector has not been able to offer the same level of engagement opportunity to its growing investor community. But that is changing now, and investors have more of a voice than ever before due in part to the advent of pass-through voting.

Key takeaways include:

• Pass-through voting capabilities could be a differentiator — firms can meet industry demand with investors focused on ‘governance’ as part of the ESG agenda
• Regulatory changes are likely to drive forward more end investor engagement
• Pass-through voting provides valuable input for investment stewardship teams and allows all investors to weigh in on important decisions
