How does Wealthfront vote its proxies?
By default, Wealthfront votes proxies for client securities based on recommendations provided by Glass, Lewis & Co., a firm that performs proxy research and vote management for more than 1,300 institutional investors globally. However, the client maintains exclusive responsibility for all legal proceedings or other events pertaining to the account assets, including, but not limited to, class action lawsuits.
Clients who would rather vote their own shares can visit their Shareholder elections page and optionally provide a list of companies they want to vote on. If a client is an eligible shareholder of a security in a Wealthfront account and has opted-in to voting for that security, Wealthfront will email them when a vote is announced and provide a link to a secure site to make their selections.
