Mutual funds that have votes scheduled on genocide-free investing
Few funds have shareholder meetings on an annual basis, so predicting dates of upcoming votes usually depends on the fund publishing proxy materials and notices with the SEC. When these funds do schedule meetings, many of those notices are filed in the spring. When we become aware of scheduled votes, we will note them here.
