CAS Launches Scorecards Platform
CAS Launches Scorecards Platform
New platform lets anyone scrutinize how hundreds of US asset managers vote on any set of issues — at no cost.
— CAS today announced the launch of its Scorecards platform, a free, public-facing tool that makes it dramatically easier to scrutinize the proxy votes cast by the hundreds of asset managers and thousands of funds in the CAS database. With just two clicks, users can surface how any covered manager or fund has voted on the issues that matter to them.
Until now, evaluating a fund’s voting behavior on a particular topic—climate, executive compensation, human rights, and responsible AI, among many—has required specialized data subscriptions, laborious manual review of filings, or proprietary analyses. The Scorecards platform removes those barriers, opening democratizing these analyses to investors, advocates, journalists, researchers, RIAs, and the broader public.
How Scorecards Work
Any user can create a private scorecard tailored to the issues they want to analyze, or they can load public scorecards built by CAS and partners, for a quick, vetted evaluation of voting behavior.
At launch, the platform features four official scorecards:
- Environmental — covering shareholder resolutions on climate, emissions disclosure, and other environmental issues.
- Animal Welfare — tracking votes on resolutions addressing animal treatment in supply chains and operations.
- Failed Say-on-Pay — identifying funds’ — and global asset owners' and managers' — positions on executive compensation approval votes that failed to secure majority shareholder support.
- AI — covering the rapidly growing set of shareholder proposals related to artificial intelligence governance, transparency, and risk.
The platform also currently includes five advocates’ scorecards, each tracking the votes on resolutions filed by a leading shareholder advocate:
- As You Sow (2025 only)
- James McRitchie & Myra Young (CorpGov.net)
- Nathan Cummings Foundation
- NYC Retirement System (2025 only)
- Green Century Capital Management (2025 only)
Additional official and advocates' scorecards are in development and will be released on a rolling basis.
A Preview: The 2025 Environmental Scorecard
To give a sense of what the platform makes possible, the chart below shows the 2025 Environmental Scorecard. Each point is an asset manager, positioned by its score on environmental proxy votes and by the scale of its influence. Hover over any point to see the manager's details.
2026 Proxy Season Data Coming in September
Votes cast during the 2026 proxy season will be available on the platform in September 2026, following the standard N-PX reporting cycle. Until then, users can explore historical voting records already in the CAS database.
About CAS
CAS maintains the only free database that covers all proxy votes cast by US ETFS, mutual funds, and closed-end funds (approximately $30T in AUM). This Scorecards platform is part of CAS’s ongoing effort to democratize proxy voting data and empower asset owners to demand the level of stewardship that their asset managers should be providing them.
