by who?

Please read:

Pension fund members and endowment holders do not have the right to vote at annual meetings but they can raise concerns about companies held on their behalf with trustees and fund managers. (1)

= Pension fund members and endowment holders do not have the right to vote at annual meetings but they can raise concerns with trustees and fund managers about companies held on their behalf. (2)

1/ Is (1)= (2)?
2/ If yes, held is past participle. So, how can I write again (1) as follows:

Pension fund members and endowment holders do not have the right to vote at annual meetings but they can raise concerns with trustees and fund managers about companies that are held on their behalf by............... (by who?)

Thanks
