A leader in global Fintech, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., has won the Systems in The City Award for Best Global Proxy Voting Service for 2022. The financial services consultant business Goodacre, a renowned top service and technology provider to the regulated financial community in the UK, is the organization hosting the awards. The award recognized Broadridge for its accomplishments in transforming institutional and retail voting through the use of technology, empowering shareholders to vote, take action, and be heard.

“Following the number of nominations received, we’re pleased that the judging panel has honored Broadridge with the Best Global Proxy Voting Service Award this year for being the fastest growing provider of global proxy solutions and for significantly advancing corporate governance and the provision of shareholder communications,”

“Broadridge has been a pioneer in leveraging the latest technology to advance corporate governance globally through its proxy voting and shareholder disclosure solutions, consistently innovating and excelling in the market to better enable retail and institutional intermediaries and drive investor engagement.”

                                                                                    Stephen Pinner, CEO at Goodacre UK.

Due to significant yearly investments in institutional and retail voting technology as well as local market digital connectivity, Broadridge’s Global Proxy and Corporate Governance Solution Suite is progressing. These investments have increased end-to-end shareholder involvement and democracy by sourcing “golden copy” announcements directly from the issuers, issuers’ agents, and CSDs, expanding voting windows to give investor research teams more time, and improving the quality of meeting information.

“For years Broadridge has enabled cross-border investors to meet their corporate governance and regulatory obligations by supporting the requirements of the various parties spanning the global investor communications ecosystem and unraveling a disparate chain of financial intermediaries involved in this complex process,”

“In recent years, we have taken a more proactive role in driving overall industry change for the benefit of issuers and investors, collaborating more with local market corporate governance leaders, working together to implement best practices and influence process change. We are proud that our efforts to be an industry partner and trusted leader have been recognized by Systems in The City.”

                               Demi Derem, GM of International Investor Communication Solutions.

Adding to its existing market-leading voting and investment communication solutions that provide 100% service and market coverage, in the past 12 months Broadridge has also extended its local market custody offering, encompassing “golden copy” event sourcing and vote execution services. In that period, it has also expanded market deadlines in key financial markets allowing investors more time to form their elections.
