Restricting Asset Managers' Voting Rights in Federal Retirement Fund (TSP)

This bill aims to prohibit professional asset managers from exercising voting rights associated with securities held by the Thrift Savings Fund (TSP), the retirement plan for federal employees. This means managers handling your retirement savings will be restricted from using proxy votes to influence corporate decisions, often related to environmental, social, or governance (ESG) issues. The goal is to ensure investment decisions focus purely on financial returns rather than broader social objectives.
Key points
Prohibits TSP asset managers from using voting rights associated with fund-owned securities.
Changes the governance philosophy for federal employees' retirement savings, limiting influence on corporate ESG policies.
