Bridge Investment Group is High Risk. The company yields to political activism in shaping corporate governance, potentially alienating consumers, dividing employees, and harming shareholders. The company implements race and identity-based policies that replace merit, excellence, and integrity with preferential treatment and outcomes. Bridge Investment Group embraces corporate initiatives that redirect its central focus from business goals to partisan policies and divisive issues. This approach fails to safeguard free exercise, free speech, and free enterprise.

DOJ Sides With Insurer That Won’t Cover “Transition” Surgery for Minor

July 27, 2026

On July 13, 2026, the Department of Justice urged the Ninth Circuit to reverse a ruling that had ordered Premera Blue Cross to cover chest surgery for a young girl. The Justice Department’s brief argues the exclusion is not sex discrimination but a “sensible policy … rooted in biological reality, developmental psychology, and medical diagnosis.” Premera covers a mastectomy for a boy with gynecomastia and for a girl with breast cancer, but declines the same surgery when it is performed on a healthy adolescent, boys and girls alike. The line, the brief says, is the diagnosis, not the patient’s sex, and it reads the Supreme Court’s 2025 decision in Skrmetti to say exactly that. Every federal appeals court to weigh the question since, the brief notes, has rejected the lower court’s reasoning. The whole dispute turns on one phrase, “medically necessary.” That label rests heavily on the standards of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the same WPATH the FTC and multiple states are now suing for stripping surgical age limits without evidentiary basis and calling virtually every pediatric “transition” service “medically necessary.” The brief itself cites England’s Cass Review and a 2025 HHS review that found the evidence …

MassBio’s Open Letter: A Massive Constraint on Biopharmaceutical Businesses

July 23, 2026

Approximately 219 companies have signed a vague and contradictory open letter urging biopharmaceutical firms to abandon their core mission. MassBio, the Massachusetts-based DEI resource center, created an open letter calling on companies and their leadership to abide by unnecessary DEI measures. These measures implement diverse BIPOC policy practices into biopharmaceutical businesses. By joining, these signatory companies don’t receive any advancements within the medical sphere but subject themselves to vague social commitments that constrain biopharma principles and objectives. The open letter holds back biopharmaceutical businesses through explicit actions: DEI requirements in recruitment, hiring, executive compensation, external partnerships, and company programming. At 1792 Exchange, we recognize these practices are bad for business because they take away from the merit expectation found within leadership. No longer is simple experience being looked at for genuine business benefit; instead, diversity becomes standard. Meaning, a new business partnership looks for diversity over merit. Furthermore, the open letter also constrains these businesses through vague commitments: using corporate influence to promote internal DEI initiatives, encouraging employees to “self-educate on racism and contribute to the race dialogue,” and establishing leadership accountability for reporting microaggressions. Biopharmaceutical companies exist to advance medicine and improve patient outcomes—not to shape social or racial …

Bowyer Research Cites 1792 Exchange Data in SPLC Shareholder Engagement Campaign

Referenced July 22, 2026

Bowyer Research used 1792 Exchange’s research to identify and engage 150+ companies connected to the SPLC, who donated directly through associated corporate foundations or probable indirect support through Benevity. Companies that donate to the SPLC, or have in recent years, need to give an account for how they plan on avoiding support to politicized organizations in the future. Companies that outsource their charitable policies to third-party providers like Benevity need to make clear whether they’re relying on SPLC diagnostics that Benevity offers as a screen. Our friends and co-laborers at 1792 Exchange identified a list of more than 150 companies connected to the SPLC, either via Benevity usage or direct donations to the SPLC. In the wake of the DOJ’s indictment of the SPLC, we sent a version of the following to those companies. The full article and letter can be found HERE.

SEC’s No-Action Retreat Proves Critics Wrong

July 22, 2026

Last fall, the SEC stopped providing informal guidance on whether companies could exclude shareholder proposals from their ballots, putting the full weight of decision in companies’ hands. But did the chaos the critics predicted ever materialize? Skeptics warned of a surge in litigation from proponents whose proposals got left off the ballot. Litigation over excluded proposals increased from its historically rare baseline, but topped out at just six cases. One was resolved in the company’s favor. Three were settled. The wave never came. Others feared an increase in shareholder proposals being left off the ballot. That was also debunked. Cooley LLP and ISS-Corporate both noted that proxy season trends remained consistent, and the proposal omission rate was similar to years past. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins put it plainly at the Society for Corporate Governance Conference earlier this month: “Nearly eight months later, it is clear that neither of these dire predictions materialized, and I am happy to report that the world did not end simply because the Commission staff stopped responding to no-action requests.” The takeaway: companies are capable of deciding what makes it onto the ballot themselves, especially given years of prior SEC guidance. If the proxy season ran …
