Please don't give organizations or individuals the right to vote whilst they actually do not own any shares. This is tantamount to naked shorting. If they need voting power then they should be buying actual shares. You want voting rights, you buy the shares and the individuals who own those shares, vote. Institutional voting needs to be outlawed. Look at Blackrock and their voting record with companies. They force ESG policies onto unwilling companies via coercion.
