How often does Baird vote against management?

9.2% of the time in the year to 30 June 2024: 437 of the 4,744 votes it marked as for or against management. Form N-PX asks each filer to state, vote by vote, whether the vote was for or against management's recommendation; this figure counts those marks.

Did Baird support shareholder proposals on climate?

In the category ENVIRONMENT OR CLIMATE it reported 7 votes on proposals from security holders in the year to 30 June 2024 and voted for 2 of them (28.6%). Across every category it voted for 47.2% of security-holder proposals. Filers choose the category for each vote, so the same proposal can sit in different categories in different filings.

Is this the result of the meetings?

No. Form N-PX shows how this filer voted the shares it held. It does not show how other shareholders voted or whether a proposal was approved. Companies report certified results separately, on Form 8-K.

Where does the data come from?

From the Form N-PX filings of the registrants and managers grouped under this family on the SEC's EDGAR system, read as filed. The SEC does not verify the contents. Amended filings (N-PX/A) replace the filings they amend. Data on this page runs through 23 Sep 2026.
