Competition matters. Transparency matters. Accountability matters. That is why lawmakers like @SenatorHagerty continue to ask whether the proxy advisory market serves investors as intended.

When @exxonmobil chose to relocate its headquarters to Texas, @issgovernance and @GlassLewis recommended shareholders vote against the move — while simultaneously suing Texas in court over its proxy advisor transparency laws. @exxonmobil says they never disclosed that conflict of interest. Investors deserve to know.

Congress has already held a hearing titled "Exposing the Proxy Advisory Cartel: How ISS & Glass Lewis Influence Markets." Proxy advisors are no longer just a boardroom issue, but a public policy issue as well.

Shareholders deserve a competitive marketplace for proxy advice, not a system where two firms can shape corporate governance with limited oversight. Policymakers should restore competition and accountability.

Debates over proxy advising did not begin yesterday. During the 2021 ExxonMobil board fight, critics argued that @issgovernance and @GlassLewis were doing more than advising shareholders — they were shaping the outcome. Learn more: proxyadvisorwatch.com

.@elonmusk has become one of the most outspoken critics of proxy advisors, arguing that unelected firms like @issgovernance and @GlassLewis have accumulated too much influence over corporate governance. ACII has been saying the same thing.

.@issgovernance and @GlassLewis built their businesses evaluating corporate governance. Over time, they’ve become influential enough to shape governance outcomes themselves. When the referee starts affecting the score, it’s fair to ask whether the system needs reform.

One of the biggest criticisms of @issgovernance and @GlassLewis is not that they have big opinions, it's that they inject political priorities into decisions that should be driven by shareholder value. Investors expect objective analysis, not ideological activism.

SEC Chair @SECPaulSAtkins is reviewing shareholder voting rules with an eye toward strengthening investor accountability. Shareholders, not proxy advisors, should remain at the heart of corporate governance.

The @exxonmobil vote showed that proxy advisor recommendations are not infallible. Investors looked beyond the headlines and reached a different conclusion than @issgovernance and @GlassLewis. One loss for the racket — but the fight is far from over.

Public companies answer to shareholders every year. Proxy advisors should answer for how their recommendations are made, what standards they follow, and who holds them accountable. Right now, nobody does.

Once largely unknown, proxy advisors @issgovernance and @GlassLewis are now drawing major attention from lawmakers, regulators, and state officials. As the scrutiny grows, so do the questions about transparency and conflicts of interest.

Encouraged to see @SECGov refocusing on what matters most: protecting retail investors. The new Retail Fraud Working Group is a step in the right direction. Thank you @SECPaulSAtkins. sec.gov/newsroom/press…

State AGs in Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, West Virginia, and Florida have all filed suit against @issgovernance. This is not a fringe position. It is a national movement.
