Most people don’t have that granular kind of control. They have workplace 401k or pension plans with matching contributions from their employer. I get double-matched by my employer (I put in 7% and the employer puts in 14%), but I can’t call someone and have them move my money. I can attend annual meetings and vote, but I have no direct control over my money unless I divest from the program entirely to go with another program and lose that 14 percent.
