Evaluating asset managers

Center for Active Stewardship

Unlike owning direct stock, which allows individuals to vote their own shares, for mutual funds and ETFs, the asset manager votes those shares -- and large asset managers such as BlackRock and Vanguard often vote these shares in a way that may not align with your values.

The Center for Active Stewardship rates asset managers based on how they vote on shareholder resolutions facing the companies held in the mutual funds and ETFs they manage. CAS's scorecards let you know how hundreds of asset mangers are doing -- so you can push your asset manager to do better or move your investments somewhere else. You can choose from a wide range of pre-selected scorecards or build your own.
