ProxyDemocracy.org has the most comprehensive list so far. You can go to their site and look up a company and see how several funds are voting. Since several of the funds are large, you can find out how at least a few funds are voting about 2 weeks before most corporate meetings. If you subscribe (free), they will send you e-mails whenever they learn how a fund is voting. As of the summer of 2009 they collected the intended votes of ten institutional investors that are particularly engaged in corporate governance:

  • AFSCME Employees Pension Plan, which manages the retirement funds of AFSCME employees (voting profile) (website )
  • CalPERS, which manages the pensions of about 1.5 million California public employees (voting profile) (website )
  • CalSTRS, which manages the pension funds of public school teachers in California (voting profile) (website )
  • Calvert, which offers socially responsible mutual funds (voting profile) (website )
  • CBIS, which manages the assets of over 1,000 Catholic institutions worldwide (voting profile) (website )
  • Domini, which offers socially responsible mutual funds (voting profile) (website )
  • Florida SBA, which manages retirement funds on behalf of Florida public employees (voting profile) (website )
  • Green Century, which offers environmentally responsible mutual funds (voting profile) (website )
  • MMA Praxis, which integrates faith and finance for individual and institutional clients (voting profile) (website )
  • Trillium Asset Management, which offers socially responsible asset management to individual and institutional clients (voting profile) (website )
Another source is TransparentDemocracy.org. They cover far fewer issuers but they also cover civic elections as well.

MoxyVote.com is the newest entry. As I write this, they are still in the testing phase. One feature they have that's great is the ability to vote your shares through their site and to rank voting advisors so that you can always vote with x but if no votes are recorded for x, the system will default to y. If no votes are registered for y, it will default to z, etc. for 5 choices.


With as few as 6% of retail shareowners voting under "e-proxy," building and utilizing these sites becomes critical. Who has time to research all the proxy issues? These sites make it easy to vote along with trusted "brands."

Can a board member vote by proxy?

Generally, association members may assign their votes to whomever they choose, and this may be a board member. It is possible that a member assigns an open proxy, or may assign a chosen proxy, usually by vote-able action. With an open proxy, the proxy holder can choose how to vote; with an assigned proxy -- with choices clearly voted on by the member -- then the proxy holder is required to vote according to the member's directive. One caveat is this, however: commonly, board members may not assign proxies to other board members for board votes. Read your governing documents to determine the exact voting procedure in place in your association, and if they are silent, locate the state law governing the type of association involved, or the type of corporation involved, where your answer may be dictated.
