NEW YORK and LONDON, Nov. 17,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Broadridge Financial Solutions,
Inc. (NYSE:BR), has won the Asset Servicing Regulatory
Solution of the Year for its innovative updated Shareholder Rights
Directive (SRD II) solution at the inaugural Asset Servicing Times
Awards Dinner in London.
Broadridge's end-to-end SRD II solution, comprising an enhanced
version of its Global Proxy solution and a new innovative
Blockchain-based Shareholder Disclosure Hub, enables all types of
market intermediaries - banks, brokers, wealth managers and central
securities depositories (CSDs) - to meet their SRD II obligations
for increased governance and transparency through a strategic,
efficient process for proxy voting and shareholder disclosure
across European markets.
"As a result of our significant investments in platform
innovation, global infrastructure and local market digital
connectivity, we implemented over 300 client solutions helping
customers and the wider industry to respond quickly and effectively
to SRD II," said Demi Derem, General Manager of Broadridge's
International Investor Communication Solutions. "We continue to
evolve our solutions with a focus on greater digital connectivity
across counterparties in the investment value chain. These
innovations are driving efficiency, transparency and improving
market deadlines never seen before in the industry".
"Critically, because its SRD II innovations support both retail
and institutional shareholder voting, Broadridge has not only
helped hundreds of firms to navigate this challenging regulation,
but in doing so it has helped to underpin the growing drive for
increased shareholder democracy by empowering a larger community of
investors," said Justin Lawson,
publisher and founder Asset Servicing Times. "Increasingly there is
a desire amongst the investment community – both retail and
institutional - to have a voice in how the companies in their
portfolios are run, especially on ethical topics such as ESG
policies and board remuneration. Through the successful
roll-out of its voting and disclosure solution, Broadridge has
proven to be a key enabler at time when corporate governance is
under the spotlight."
