Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures Clause Samples

The "Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures" clause outlines the rules and processes an entity follows when voting on behalf of shareholders or clients at company meetings. It typically details how proxy votes are cast, the criteria used to make voting decisions, and the recordkeeping requirements for such votes. For example, an investment manager may use these procedures to ensure votes are cast in the best interests of their clients and to avoid conflicts of interest. The core function of this clause is to promote transparency and accountability in proxy voting, ensuring that voting rights are exercised responsibly and in accordance with established guidelines.
