Could you explain to me how an investor owning SPY shares gets to control the proxy vote?
replyOh, don't worry. I already know the answer. I'm asking if YOU can tell me the answer.
You can buy IVV instead and get the same exposure but this time you get to vote. Or you could just not own spy and buy the shares individually.
replyWhat 401k program do you or your peers have that allows you to buy funds outside of the few, selected by the 401k manager?
replyI certainly can't buy individual shares in my 401k program. And very, very few programs I'm aware of ever offered that as an option.
they typically offer a brokerage option. fidelity and vanguard both offered this when I had them. if that wasn't on the table I'd roll it into something that gave me flexibility.
