It seems to me that requiring a conflict of interest policy or statement would address the concerns about where these investment or holding corporations invest their money. But even then, that doesn’t mean the policy is being followed by the players involved. Hence, the need for auditors to investigate this issue within corporations.
Also, remember... the only reason these companies are free from the laws against monopolies is that they are theoretically not controlling the companies' policies. If they are exerting control, then they should fall under anti-trust laws (in my opinion). I am totally open to other ways of going about it, but when one company (i.e. Vanguard) can force a large number of corporations to conduct CRT training for its employees, it is more powerful than our government and the employees deserve the same protections our Bill of Rights gives us against government.
