# 2026 Policy Updates from Key Investors

Major institutional investors including Goldman Sachs Asset Management, T. Rowe Price, and Geode Capital have updated their 2026 voting policies, shifting from narrow demographic diversity assessments toward holistic evaluations of board composition, skills, experience, and overall governance quality. GSAM now explicitly monitors how boards respond to shareholder feedback and voting outcomes, raising the accountability bar for decision-making processes. For SEA mid-market CEOs and scale-up founders preparing for investor scrutiny, this signals that boards must demonstrate not just structural governance but evidence of adaptive, high-quality decision processes.
