You might think you have a say in the market because you own shares. In this episode, I break down how the big 3 asset managers: BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street actually control the voting power across America’s largest companies, and why that matters to you.
In this episode we discuss:
- How funds centralize voting rights with a few asset managers
- The scale of ownership concentration across the top US companies
- The mechanics of shares, boards, and proxy votes
- Why fiduciary duty can tilt toward fund managers’ incentives
