Strate’s e-Voting platform welcomes 3 new clients

Strate’s e‐Voting platform has achieved another significant milestone: the operationalisation of three new clients. Cadiz Asset Management, Visio Fund Management and Matrix Fund Managers, with combined assets under management of over R57 billion, are now live to process voting instructions via our fully digital solution.

We would like to thank Nedbank, Rand Merchant Bank and Standard Bank for the vital and ongoing collaborative role they have played in driving the successful operationalisation of their clients.

We are pleased to continue serving the financial market ecosystem through our innovative, groundbreaking e-Voting platform, which offers a fully digital secure platform to connect companies to their investors.

“The benefits of moving to Strate e-Voting have been amazing, as the end‐to‐end solution has removed all the complexity around manual intervention,” says Althea Modiselle, Head of Fund Administration at Visio Fund Management. “The onboarding process, staff training (requested on more than one occasion), and numerous calls for assistance were no problem to Strate who ensured that implementation was done with no hiccups.”

Through full integration with our core CSD platform, our e-Voting platform uses our existing digital legal ownership records to enable seamless and legally-binding voting on securities in the public and private markets.

e-Voting seamlessly connects issuers and investors, increasing transparency and efficiencies across the value chain.

Other benefits 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
