broker non-votes financial
"There were a total of 6,075,123 broker non-votes for the election of directors."
Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.
independent registered public accountants regulatory
"The appointment of KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accountants to examine the Company's consolidated financial statements for 2026 was ratified"
Independent registered public accountants are external auditing firms licensed to examine a public company’s financial records and issue an objective opinion on whether the financial statements are accurate and follow accounting rules. They matter to investors because their independent check is like a neutral referee confirming the score in a game — it reduces the risk of errors or misleading information and helps investors trust the financial reports used to make decisions.
regular semi-annual dividend financial
"declared a regular semi-annual dividend of $0.52 per share."
advisory basis regulatory
"A resolution to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of named executive officers, was approved"
named executive officers financial
"A resolution to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of named executive officers, was approved"
Named executive officers are the senior company leaders whose names, roles and compensation are singled out in required regulatory filings; this typically includes the chief executive, chief financial officer and the next highest‑paid senior officers. Investors treat this list like a team roster — it shows who makes key decisions, how they are paid and whether incentives align with shareholder interests, so changes or pay patterns can signal governance quality, risk or strategic shifts.
assets financial
"As of March 31, 2026, SEI manages, advises, or administers approximately $1.9 trillion in assets."
