Proxy voting provides a valuable opportunity for investors to express their positions as shareholders on key
issues related to corporate governance and corporate social responsibility. Walden offers its clients a comprehensive proxy
voting service designed to accommodate the various
financial and social objectives of our clients.
Walden's Comprehensive Social Proxy Voting Guidelines are used to
vote proxies for most of our clients' portfolios, the Walden Social Equity
Fund and the Walden Social Balanced Fund.* Walden's Comprehensive Social Proxy Voting Guidelines and the 2004
proxy-voting records for the Walden Social Equity Fund and the Walden Social
Balanced Fund are available here as a download in Adobe Acrobat PDF file
format.
