Proxy Voting
With increased media and industry scrutiny on proxy and meeting processes, we support shareholder voting participation and the need for transparent audit trails. Our vote management systems track shareholder voting instructions from receipt right through to general meeting attendance, and are able to handle complexities such as multi-class events with different voting ratios and complicated split and partial voting instructions from institutions.
We are experienced in the design of generic or personalised proxy cards to improve the speed and accuracy of recording proxies. We also fully support the use of bar-code and scanning technology.
CREST proxy voting
The CREST proxy voting facility enables institutional investors to vote electronically using the existing CREST infrastructure. The service enables instructions to be time-stamped and institutional votes to be counted and analysed immediately by our proxy system.
