There has hardly been a more important recent development than the rise of the ‘Big Three’ asset managers—Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors, and BlackRock. These asset managers now represent some of the largest owners of US public companies
The Big Three combined constitute the largest owner in 438 of the 500 most important American corporations, or roughly in 88 percent of all member firms. These 438 co-owned corporations account for about 82 percent of S&P 500 market capitalization.
there are different views regarding the motivations and opportunities for active shareholder power. Some believe that because passive investors cannot "exit," they have little shareholder power, but others argue that this gives them more motivation to actively influence corporations. The Big Three do utilize centralized corporate governance practices and coordinated voting strategies. Nevertheless, they typically support management, with the exception of director re-elections. But again, They may exercise "hidden power" in two ways: first, through private interactions with invested company management; and second, because company executives may be prone to internalizing the Big Three's goals
