    ONEFUND partnered with iconik to offer all Tesla investors an easy, automated way to vote their shares. Here is ONEFUND CEO Michael Willis on the Schwab Network interviewed by Oliver Renick discussing Tesla and the importance of shareholder voting in the investment process. The only fund to implement true pass-through voting for all shareholders, ONEFUND INDEX investors were able to customize their Tesla vote — unlike any other fund. "Tesla stock happens to be ... 55% retail investor-owned. This is a chance for retail investors to stand up and let their voices be heard." https://lnkd.in/gkYRa9s3

    As announced in Forbes today, the Sierra Club Foundation is partnering with iconik. "It's now possible, with essentially the click of a button, to vote all your proxies alongside the Sierra Club Foundation, for free. The idea of this collaboration is to offer a much simpler pathway for individuals and institutions alike to shape a more sustainable and just future for the companies they own." A great interview with Pedro Henriques da Silva by Morgan Simon, "The landscape is changing, and this partnership is part of a movement of investors reclaiming their voice as shareholders to build a better future." https://lnkd.in/g5aXTEhh

    Should Nestlé investors push for healthier food options? A shareholder proposal by ShareAction at the food giant asks it to produce sales reporting on the healthfulness of its products. Many jurisdictions have implemented taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, arguing that they contribute to obesity, diabetes, and the associated costs on our healthcare systems. As The Shareholder Commons points out, these costs are not only born by healthcare providers and governments, but potentially by diversified investors: "For diversified investors, a healthy economy is a far more important driver of overall portfolio returns than the performance of a single company. While selling products that are less healthy may generate short-term financial returns for Nestlé, the externalities this creates negatively affect its shareholders who don’t just own Nestlé, but rely on a growing economy to support their entire portfolios. Indeed, a number of studies have shown that broader economic factors explain 75-94% of average portfolio return." iconik's newest voting rule allows investors to easily have their shares automatically voted in support of proposals like these. #universalowner #proxyvoting #sustainableinvesting
