So you make a fund which holds the stock of the listed company long-term, and trade the fund as normal... this doesn't seem robust yet.

This would add a level of indirection to stockholders trying to influence the company though, right? You have to make the fund managers put pressure on the company to give you short term gains, rather than pressuring the company directly.

In a prior post the founder claimed that there are ways to deal with that. After all, AIUI stocks in the States are already actually held by the Depository Trust Corporation, so the system already deals with indirection.
