NEW YORK and LONDON,
Feb. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A
new whitepaper focused on the growth of retail investment in
Europe, and the corresponding need
for financial intermediaries to reappraise how they service the
increased corporate governance requirements of the retail investor,
was released today by Broadridge Financial Solutions (NYSE:
BR), a global Fintech leader.

The whitepaper, titled The Rise of the Retail Investor, assesses
the European regulatory agenda and the continued roll-out of the
Capital Markets Union that reinforces the objective for a more
engaged and empowered retail investor community. It highlights
specific regulatory drivers, such as the Shareholder Rights
Directive (SRD II), that mandated financial intermediaries -
including banks, brokers and wealth managers - to provide voting
solutions to their underlying retail investors for the first time.
It explores how these retail investors, together with social media,
can potentially influence meeting outcomes around topical issues
like director remuneration, climate change and the ESG policies
adopted by issuers and asset managers.
"Some of the world's leading banks and brokers have recognised
the importance of regulatory and social change impacting their
business and many have stepped up their investor communications
product offerings, with the most advanced now looking at ways to
incorporate ESG sentiment from their mutual fund holders," said
Demi Derem, General Manager, International Bank Broker-Dealer
Communication Solutions at Broadridge. "We have witnessed a strong
demand for our ESG-focused retail voting solutions and this
whitepaper highlights how the industry is managing the
implementation of the rising standards in corporate governance
communications. The whitepaper also examines how some firms are
looking over the industry horizon, to build brand reputation and
trust, while leveraging Fintech innovation to achieve best-in-class
compliance and strengthen their core service propositions against
their peers."
