Proxy Voting Policies
What Is Proxy Voting?
All investment advisers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission are required to make available to clients their proxy voting policies and procedures which describe how the adviser votes client securities in their best interest and how the adviser deals with material conflicts between its interests and those of its clients. Advisers also must keep a record of how they voted client securities and make that voting record available to clients on request.
