STANLIB joins Strate e-Voting platform
Strate is delighted to announce that our e-Voting service has reached another significant milestone. STANLIB, a specialist investment manager, has operationalised onto the e-Voting platform and is able to process voting instructions via our fully digital solution.
This is another key achievement as we continue to serve the South African financial market ecosystem. Our groundbreaking e-Voting platform is a secure web-based application that enables digital shareholder meetings for both South African and foreign incorporated companies. The platform provides a fully digitised experience that seamlessly connects issuers and investors throughout the proxy voting lifecycle.
STANLIB, which recently subscribed to the e-Voting platform, is benefitting from its efficiencies. “We are satisfied with the capabilities of the system,” says the Operations team at STANLIB.
e-Voting seamlessly connects issuers and investors, increasing transparency and efficiencies across the value chain by:
- Digitising the voting process
- Enabling voters to direct questions to the meeting chairperson
- Enabling voters to change their vote at any time before the meeting closes
- Real-time voting from any location
- Reducing the cost, paperwork and complexity of meetings for all parties, from issuers and investors to custodians and asset managers
- Creating transparency of shareholder decision making at meetings
- Improving corporate governance through interactive, audited reports
