Proxy Season is Here … Why We Vote For You and What to Do if You are Receiving Proxy Information

Almost all public financial institutions of all shape and form have what is called a Proxy Vote.

The Proxy is an at least Annual Vote for various items such as approval for management salaries, mergers, company stock repurchases and just an annual approval to continue current services.

Break In – The pending fall merger has led to an increase in Schwab related deliveries mostly via email … see below for our easy corrective measures made by use!

Why We Vote Your Proxy

As a regular practice we vote Proxies for all clients. This accomplishes multiple items:

  • Much Greener – We get one statement for literally 100’s of client votes
  • We actually vote – always for management – if we disagreed we would not own the respective asset
  • We keep a permanent record of the vote
  • By voting for you, your mailbox is not stuffed full this time of the year

We try to receive electronic information as much as possible – this is once again green but much of this information is still delivered the old fashion way by snail mail

What to Do If You are Receiving Proxy Information .. Help is Here!

Occasionally Proxy directives for us to vote … for you, falls off the system …

When this occurs your mailbox will begin getting full…

No worry, just reach out and we can easily refresh your directives back to us and stop the pelting of mail.

Given the large number of collective votes, we do not know if you have fallen off the directives list, so please do not hesitate to ask us for a refresh.

Have a Great “Proxy Vote Update” Day!

Proxy Season is Here – Reminder… We Vote and save the wasted paper for you! Masters Weekend Friday

As we wave goodbye to Tax Season – Almost there – just one more business day!

We say hello to another season.

Proxy Season Remindersvote-1804596__480

As a most common regular practice, we vote proxies for clients. There are multiple advantages of doing this …

  • Your mailbox will not get overblown with massive proxy statements, notices, and voting material
  • Being more green – we get one piece of material for hundreds of you, saving the companies money and helping the environment at the same time
  • Getting the Vote completed – the vote will get cast, frequently a confusing proposition as near all votes are electronic, but after many completions the systems are know

Are you getting Proxy Statements?

If you by chance are getting proxy notices, please contact us and we will resend and reset the directives to have those proxies sent to us in bulk – occasionally proxy votes will revert back to you via new proxy provider or company changes.

Ahhhh…. it’s a Friday, but not just any Friday … a Masters Weekend Friday – Enjoy!
