This conversation reveals how major asset managers used client capital and proxy votes to push social agendas, reshaping corporate behavior without shareholder consent. Kevin Freeman and Derek Kreifels expose the risks to pensions, fiduciary duty, and returns when ESG and DEI mandates supersede performance. They outline concrete strategies — proxy voting audits, shareholder engagement, and value-aligned index design — to restore accountability. Learn how Prospr Aligned empowers investors to match capital with values and performance.
