I wonder what would happen if pensions, funds and other would pass through voting rights of the share they own to the fund share owners.
This way if you own a share in a fund or have a right in pension, if the fund chooses to buy shares of company A, when there is a shareholder vote of company A instead having the fund manager to vote, the fund manager would transmit this voting rights to you.
