Home › Asset managers › First Trust › 2025-2026 › Against the board
4,352 proposals in the 2025-2026 proxy season: First Trust voted against, or withheld its votes from, 4,335 proposals put forward by company boards, and voted for 17 shareholder proposals, by its own Form N-PX filings.
Two kinds of vote are listed: a board-sponsored proposal First Trust voted AGAINST or withheld on, and a shareholder proposal it voted FOR, with the board’s recommendation on it where the filings show one. A FOR vote on a proposal the board supported, or took no position on, is listed and labelled, but it is not a vote against the board. One row is one proposal at one meeting; “funds” is how many of the manager’s funds or accounts voted that way.
Everything Only shareholder proposals it backed
4,352 proposals.
