Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Allspring Global Dividend Opportunity Fund (EOD) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow EOD and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full EOD filings page.
