Welcome to the Proxy Voting Record section of our website.

In January 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rules relating to proxy voting by investment companies and investment advisors. Registered investment management companies are now required to disclose the policies and procedures that they use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities, and to file with the Commission and make available to their shareholders the specific proxy votes that they cast.

In addition, the SEC requires registered investment advisors to adopt and implement written policies and procedures:

Reasonably designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interest of their clients and to disclose to clients information about those policies, and
Disclose to clients how they may obtain information about how the advisor voted their proxies and retain records relating to voting proxies on client securities.

We at MTB, take this SEC requirement seriously, and are pleased to share our policies and voting record with you on our website. You can also call us on 1-800-836-2211 for this information if you prefer.
