Your vote is important

There are 20 investment trust general meetings, including AGMs, coming up next month – each giving shareholders the opportunity to vote on key issues facing those trusts. 

That might not make any headlines, but your vote is more important than ever. 

While some general meeting resolutions may seem routine, others may make a real difference to the value of your investment. As a private investor, it’s essential your voice is heard. 

We saw the power of your vote earlier this year, when seven votes from activist Saba Capital were defeated thanks to big turnouts from investors like you. Activists have not gone away, and while their aims may sometimes align with regular shareholders, that won’t always be the case. 

Our website contains a handy list of upcoming general meetings as well as information about how to vote your shares on major investment platforms. 

It’s simpler than you might think. Taking a few minutes to vote your shares could make all the difference to the future of your investment trust.
