Major investment funds are losing interest in pushing politics through shareholder votes, with some rejecting ESG initiatives. The retreat from ESG proxy voting is highlighted in recent research, indicating a shift in investment strategies and a focus on investor responsibility. The move comes as ESG practices face scrutiny for potential violations of antitrust laws, leading to a reevaluation and rebranding by proponents. Conservative wins in rejecting ESG proposals, such as by Blackrock, are seen as positive developments in the investment landscape.
Per @WSJ, it’s great to see some conservative wins around ESG. @Blackrock rejecting most ESG proposals last year is a welcome development and one that we hope to see continue. We should applaud them. https://t.co/CkMGdbZxat
