  • Top mutual fund firm Vanguard has resumed stewardship meetings with portfolio companies after reviewing new guidance from securities regulators, a document seen on Monday by Reuters shows.

Vanguard, one of the world's largest asset managers, has resumed its stewardship meetings with companies after a brief pause to review new U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance. The SEC's updated rules, effective from March 2025, aim to enhance transparency and accountability in how investment advisers engage with portfolio companies on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. Vanguard had temporarily halted these engagements to ensure compliance with the new regulations, which require detailed disclosures about these interactions. The firm confirmed that it has now adapted its processes to align with the SEC's expectations, allowing it to continue its dialogue with companies on matters that can impact long-term shareholder value.
