#Vanguard Investment manager Vanguard released data from its Investor Choice proxy voting pilot on Tuesday, indicating that approximately one quarter of investors participating in the exercise chose to cast their proxy votes in alignment with an ESG-focused policy. Vanguard launched its Investor Choice pilot in early 2023, offering investors with the ability to select from a range of policy options to meet a series of preferences. The pilot was expanded in 2024 to include five equity index funds comprising more than $100 billion in assets, with the policy options available including the “Company Board-Aligned Policy,” voting in accordance with the recommendations made by the portfolio company’s board of directors; “Third Party ESG Policy,” voting in accordance with the recommendations of Glass Lewis’s thematic ESG Voting Policy, which follows the view that investment returns can be enhanced through a focus on disclosing and mitigating risks related to ESG issues; “Vanguard-Advised Funds Policy,” administered by Vanguard’s investment stewardship team, and; “Not Voting Policy.” According to Vanguard, approximately 40,000 investors participated in the program in the 2024 proxy season, with 24.4% selecting the Third Party ESG Policy, 43% selecting the Vanguard-Advised Funds Policy, 30.3% selecting the Company Board-Aligned Policy, and 2.3% choosing the Not Voting Policy. https://lnkd.in/dSFyZKt4

Did you know sustainable investing is possible through passive equities? How? My expert colleagues Oliver MacArthur, CFA and Sophie Fisher and our specialist Investment Manager Research (IMR) team help our clients select strategies most aligned with their responsible investment and climate change views. Investors increasingly need to align their equity investments to more complex ESG and climate considerations. Helpfully, there are many opportunities to align responsible investment beliefs with portfolio design: by shifting passive equity portfolios to sustainable index and rules-based strategies more aligned with evolving responsible investment trends. Over recent years we have seen an evolution in the sustainable indexation space. The market has transitioned from merely tracking third-party indices to co-developing custom indices and, more recently, creating rules-based strategies without an underlying ESG index to reference. To help navigate this fast moving landscape it is crucial that investor beliefs, objectives and risk tolerance preferences are clear and well understood. Have a look at our investment capabilities and how we are helping our clients in more detail here: https://lnkd.in/gQVcU57b #sustainableinvesting #climateawareness #esginvesting #equitymarkets #aon

💡If you’re a GP or LP, check-out this article that is relevant for any investment fund - not just impact investing funds, as investors expectations are evolving to require better data to tackle climate risk and other impact risks. 💵 This SSIR article suggests two new approaches to set budget for impact measurement and management (IMM): - treat IMM expenses as allowable fund expenses in the LP agreement. - include company-level IMM expenses as part of due diligence costs. 🗝️ The key here is shifting mindset to acknowledge that IMM can be valuable for value creation or risk mitigation, rather than seeing it as another burden. 👉 Bonus: The article also includes an estimation of IMM costs. #ImpactMeasurement #Impactinvesting https://lnkd.in/eaB6jx3z
