The Vote with Company Board Recommendation Policy option, which will be the most widely available of its kind in the industry, allows shareholders in US equity index ETFs and mutual funds managed by State Street Global Advisors to strictly align the voting of their shares with the proxy voting recommendations of the boards of directors of the portfolio companies in which those funds are invested. Additional details and information on the proxy voting policies that will be offered to investors as part of this program can be found on the State Street Global Advisors website. "As pioneers in the ETF and mutual fund industry, we are proud to launch another meaningful enhancement that expands how investors can express their views," said Yie-Hsin Hung, CEO of State Street Global Advisors. "This new option, which will vote in line with a board's recommendation, is proof of our commitment to expand proxy voting choices for our clients."
