What is proxy voting?

With the implementation of Shareholder Rights Directive II (SRD2), there is an increasing regulatory demand to encourage long term shareholder commitment and discourage excessive risk. The main objective of this directive is to improve transparency and facilitate shareholder engagement. The directive sets the right to identify shareholders and mandates intermediaries like custodians to take an active role in providing information. SRD2 also aims to facilitate the process of voting and exercising other shareholders’ rights on an international level, by requiring intermediaries to transmit corporate actions and general meeting or proxy voting announcements without any delay.

Business Opportunities
