Proxymity, a London-based digital investor communication platform, has collaborated with solutions provider FIS to launch a multinational digital proxy voting service. The FIS Proxy Voting by Proxymity service looks to connect issuers, intermediaries, and investors, ensuring that investor communications are delivered in real-time. The solution allows businesses to better manage investor communication and proxy voting, backed by a subscription-based global technology solution. It will enable FIS clients to benefit from an end-to-end digital connection that is expected to improve their shareholders’ voting experiences through the facilitation of instant distribution of meeting announcements. It also looks to boost capital markets firms’ active governance, supporting it with issuers contributing to the ESG goals and Shareholder Rights Directive II regulatory requirements. Jonathan Smalley, co-Founder and COO at Proxymity, said: “The benefits of this collaboration between FIS and Proxymity will be felt keenly among businesses eager to eradicate inefficiencies in their current channels. The primary goal must be to ensure investor communications are seamless and swift, which FIS Proxy Voting by Proxymity will guarantee.”
