Who we work with









About our pass-through voting technology
Retail and institutional investors can now have ultimate control over AGM votes at the companies they hold through pooled funds. Using our pass-through voting product, they can vote directly, select a voting policy (which then automates their vote), or delegate votes to their fund manager.
Implementing pass-through voting enables fund managers to continue offering a low-cost, operationally efficient pooled fund while providing the additional voting control that clients demand.

Deliver market-leading services to clients with tailored voting requirements.
Give your pooled products voting flexibility just like your segregated mandates.
Offer consistency of service across all fund structures while still meeting your fiduciary duty.
