This month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) held a staff roundtable on the proxy voting process to discuss topics including proposed changes to SEC policies on shareholder proposals and proxy advisory firms.
The PRI encourages signatories to submit comments following the roundtable (see the PRI’s here), and engage on our Collaboration Platform. Last month, the PRI published a policy briefing to support signatories in their submissions to the SEC.

The Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections, resulting in a divided US government, with the House of Representatives controlled by Democrats and the Senate controlled by Republicans.
The House Financial Services Committee (HFSC) has jurisdiction over the financial markets in the House. It is almost certain that Maxine Waters will become Chair of HFSC next year. It is likely that the HFSC will focus on SEC oversight.
