⭐ Consumer Confidence Hits Highest Level Since 2000

Most investors have to passively accept a management's policies. One group with sufficient clout to get changes, mutual funds, are following in the footsteps of passive investors, according to the Investment Company Institute.

Good morning. Most investors have to passively accept a management's policies. One group with sufficient clout to get changes, mutual funds, are following in the footsteps of passive investors, according to the Investment Company Institute. In 2009, funds voted for management 90 percent of the time. By 2017, proxy votes revealed that increased to 94 percent. On shareholder proposals, some of which are supported by management, mutual funds vote a mere 35 percent of the time. Don't like how a company is being run? Either don't buy shares at all— a challenge in the age of passive investing— or buy enough shares to get board seats.
