In 2015, Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners was defeated in an activist campaign against chemical firm DuPont , largely because the top three institutional shareholders voted against his slate. Nearly a decade later, those same institutional investors — Vanguard, State Street and BlackRock — are the three largest shareholders in Disney . Former Marvel chairman Ike Perlmutter has entrusted Peltz with his 33 million Disney shares, the bulk of the activist's 1.8% stake. Vanguard is the largest holder with 8% of outstanding Disney shares. In 2021, for example, 63% of Disney shareholders voted their shares, according to data analyzed by 13D Monitor.

Disney's largest shareholder, index fund manager Vanguard, plans to support management over Nelson Peltz's Trian Partners in Wednesday's board vote, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. Vanguard owns 7.8% of Disney shares. BlackRock , Disney's second -largest shareholder with 4.2% of shares, is also supporting the incumbent board and CEO Bob Iger, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The reporting on how Disney's largest shareholders are supposedly voting prompted harsh criticism from one-time shareholder activist Bill Ackman on Tuesday evening. Through an arrangement with former Marvel Chairman Ike Perlmutter, Trian controls 1.8% of Disney shares, making it the fifth largest shareholder.

Disney's proxy battle is expected to cost the company and rival hedge funds at least $70 million. Retail investors make up a big chunk of Disney shareholders, and it's expensive to reach them. The outcome of the shareholder vote could change Disney's direction, but its impact is still unclear. AdvertisementThis week's big Disney shareholder vote is supposed to be a seismic event — a referendum on the future of one of the world's most important entertainment companies. But we can definitively say that the Disney proxy battle, which concludes on Wednesday, has been a nice boost for a collection of consultants and media companies.
