Securities and Exchange Commission October 15, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is proposing to amend Form N-PX under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (``Investment Company Act'') to enhance the information mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (``ETFs''), and certain other funds currently report annually about their proxy votes and to make that information easier to analyze. The Commission also is proposing rule and form amendments under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') that would require an institutional investment manager subject to the Exchange Act to report annually on Form N-PX how it voted proxies relating to executive compensation matters, as required by the Exchange Act. The proposed reporting requirements for institutional investment managers, if adopted, would complete implementation of those requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (``Dodd-Frank Act'').
