About this page

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY INC.’s 10-Q dated April 22, 2024. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on October 14, 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At AMERICAN WATER WORKS COMPANY INC.'s shareholder meeting held May 15, 2024, in the 2023-2024 proxy season, 911 asset managers reported how they voted on 11 ballot items in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 8,396 separate fund positions.
