Vote Agency

Manifest’s proxy voting agency offers a turnkey solution to investors looking for high quality operational support. The service encompasses a range of operational activities that allow investment managers to concentrate on their jobs – maximising returns – while we do ours. We offer work-flow consulting, voting guideline development, custom vote recommendations, vote execution, record keeping and reporting. We ensure compliance with a range of global standards and rules.

Putting Investors First

Manifest delivers a complete global proxy voting agency which is focussed on the needs of institutional investors. Proxy voting is not a core competency for custodians and is invariably outsourced to third parties outside investors’ control. By putting asset owners at the top of the agenda Manifest can offer uncompromised service quality.

Our solution makes a complex process streamlined and accessible by consolidating key activities:

  • Agenda procurement, translation and coding
  • Daily portfolio reconciliations
  • Calculating vote entitlement
  • Client-specific ballots
  • Best practice guidelines
  • Integrated vote recommendations
  • At a glance status monitoring
  • Maximum control, minimum mouse clicks

Voting Confidentiality

Our clients’ voting intentions remain confidential and we will not respond to requests to disclose voting intentions. Nor will this data be resold or otherwise transmitted to any other party, save the authorised vote tabulator for the meeting in question.
