Broadridge Extends Proxy Voting and Disclosure Solution to Support All Models of Tokenized Securities

New end-to-end solution enables issuers, investors, and broker-dealers to manage voting, disclosure, and compliance seamlessly across traditional and tokenized securities

Building on recent announcements with Galaxy and Ondo Finance regarding governance solutions for issuer-sponsored and third party-sponsored tokenized securities, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. announced it is now extending its market-leading proxy voting and disclosure solutions to third party-custodied tokenized securities, effectively supporting governance across all security tokenization models outlined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As tokenization accelerates the convergence of traditional finance and digital markets globally, Broadridge is supporting adoption with a full suite of governance solutions including on-chain voting, a unified view for issuers of their on- and off-chain shares, and institutional grade reporting and controls.

“As tokenization reshapes how securities are issued, held, and traded, solving for governance – irrespective of how they are tokenized and where they are held – is critical to scaling adoption,” said Doug DeSchutter, President of Investor Communication Solutions at Broadridge. “With our unparalleled expertise in proxy voting, disclosure, and regulatory compliance, Broadridge is ensuring that investors and issuers can access the full range of trusted governance capabilities for tokenized securities regardless of how assets are structured or owned.”

“The future of investing will depend on making innovative products easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to support at scale. As the infrastructure powering over 40 million end investor accounts, Apex sees firsthand what’s required to bring new asset classes to market,” said Bill Capuzzi, Chief Executive Officer of Apex Fintech Solutions. “Tokenized securities are a meaningful part of that future, and trusted governance and disclosure capabilities will help drive broader adoption.”
