Esgaia launches Vote Disclosure Service (VDS) to streamline proxy voting transparency for investors, and to offer a cost-effective dynamic alternative to the dominant proxy voting providers.
Recognising the critical role that proxy voting plays in effective investment stewardship, the VDS is designed to help investors better meet compliance and best-practice disclosure standards. It enables asset managers and institutional investors to automate the disclosure of key voting data directly on their websites.
Investors need to adapt to evolving expectations
Investors face increasing regulatory and stakeholder requirements on voting transparency, to provide access to data in timely and digestible formats. However, current disclosure practices are falling behind expectations. Investors primarily disclose summaries of voting behaviour in annual stewardship reports, with individual records in separate detailed lists, some also disclose votes on websites or use the disclosure services of the dominant proxy voting providers.
