Strate welcomes Argon Asset Management to its e‐Voting platform
Strate has operationalised another new client on its e‐Voting platform. Argon Asset Management, with assets under management of R29 billion, is now live to process voting instructions via our fully digital solution.
This is another milestone as we continue to serve the South African financial market ecosystem via our groundbreaking e-Voting platform.
Through full integration with our core CSD platform, the e-Voting service is a secure web-based application that enables digital shareholder meetings for both South African and foreign incorporated companies.
“The onboarding experience was highly professional. The Strate team was very supportive over an extended period. We look forward to working together to extract maximum benefit from the e-Voting platform,” says Ahmed Omar, Portfolio Administration Manager at Argon Asset Management.
e-Voting seamlessly connects issuers and investors throughout the proxy voting lifecycle, increasing transparency and efficiencies across the value chain.
We are pleased to have now enabled 19 asset management clients onto our platform with a total of R3.35 trillion in assets under management.
Other benefits of our e-Voting platform include:
- Real-time voting from any location
- Ability for voters to change their vote at any time before meeting close
- Ability for voters to direct questions to the meeting chairperson
- No manual intervention at any stage in the value chain
- Improved corporate governance through interactive, audited reports
- Data security using blockchain technology
- A true end-to-end solution
