Portfolio Securities Voting

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act amends the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Section 14A (15 USCS § 78n-1) is new and provides for a nonbinding shareholder vote on executive compensation, also known as the “say-on-pay vote.”

Who is affected?

All institutional investors with over $100 million in discretionary assets, typically 13F filers.

What is required?

You will be required to file Form N-PX annually to disclose proxy votes related to executive compensation proposals.

What are the challenges facing institutional investors?

The process of identifying, isolating and filing on specific say-on-pay proposals takes additional time, resources and can create compliance risk if there are any errors or missed deadline dates.

We maintain a complete proposal code list and can utilize your voting captured in ProxyEdge to compile the information for you and automatically file with SEC on your behalf.
