How it voted, by issue
Fund companies sometimes file the same proposal under different subjects. So that funds can be compared, each proposal is counted under the subject most of the filings we read gave it, the same for every fund on this site. Counted by this fund’s own filing alone, 4 of its 19 shareholder proposals would sit under a different issue, or under none. On management's own executive pay resolutions, this fund voted in favour 100% of the time across 23 votes.
