Our story

Empowering shareholders to vote their values

Proxy Navigator is a project of the Free Enterprise Project of the National Center for Public Policy Research — built to give center-right investors the tools they need to combat woke "Capitalism."

Our mission

Putting shareholder power back in the hands of investors

For too long, proxy season has been dominated by activist resolutions and opaque advisory firms pushing one-sided agendas. Proxy Navigator changes that — by giving every shareholder, from retail investor to institution, a clear, research-backed guide to vote their values and maximize their investments.

The app is sponsored by the Free Enterprise Project (FEP), the corporate advocacy arm of the National Center for Public Policy Research. FEP has been pushing back on corporate wokeness in shareholder meetings since 2007.

What we stand for

The principles behind every recommendation

Free Enterprise

We believe corporations exist to deliver value to shareholders — not to advance political agendas with their investors' money.

Viewpoint Diversity

We rate companies in part on their commitment to free expression and viewpoint diversity — values the marketplace of ideas depends on.

Transparency

Every recommendation comes with the research behind it. We show our work, source by source, so you can vote with confidence.

Backed by research
