摘要:
We examine the impact of investment banking business ties on mutual fund proxy voting decisions in shareholder meetings. Controlling for a comprehensive set of saturated fixed effects, we find robust evidence that fund families are more likely to vote with management of their investment banking client firms in shareholder proposals. Supporting a management pressure channel, the pro-management voting patterns are more pronounced in contentious proposals. Successful connected voting is associated with positive voting outcome announcement returns, suggesting that those votes reflect superior information. Finally, we find that fund families are more likely to vote against management of their client firms in non-contentious situations, suggesting that institutions vote strategically to hide their pro-management stance.
