Vanguard, one of the world’s most trusted investment providers, offers more than 400 funds that are managed by over two dozen highly respected investment managers, each with their own policies and approaches to proxy voting. We also offer Investor Choice, which provides investors in certain Vanguard-advised mutual funds and ETFs the opportunity to participate more directly in the proxy voting process.
Learn about what proxy voting is, the ways in which Vanguard funds approach proxy voting, and how investors can participate in Vanguard’s Investor Choice program.
Vanguard's Investor Choice program enables individual investors in certain equity index funds to express their perspectives on shareholder matters at the companies held in their funds.
Across Vanguard’s more than 400 funds worldwide, some two dozen internal and external investment managers cast proxy votes on behalf of the respective funds—or portion of funds—that they manage. The managers administer proxy voting in accordance with the stated voting policies and in pursuit of each fund’s stated investment objective.
