TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwired) — 12/02/14 — Kingsdale Shareholder Services, Canada–s leading proxy solicitation and shareholder advisory firm, today announced the launch of In-Sight Voting Analytics, a new tool that will dramatically change the understanding public companies have of their shareholders– voting patterns and significantly improve the manner in which they respond to shareholders– interests.
Using proprietary research and a complex methodology, In-Sight Voting Analytics offers issuers insight into how and why institutional shareholders vote the way they do, with the goal of equipping companies to better meet the expectations of their largest owners.
“Companies told us they were frustrated by the gap in understanding they had with their largest investors and we developed the solution,” said Kingsdale CEO and Founder, Wes Hall. “Many feel ill-equipped to meet the expectations of their shareholders because they don–t know basic facts like how they voted in the past or what their internal policies and procedures are to determine a vote. We believe that if we can help issuers and investors speak the same language a lot of value can be created.”
In-Sight Voting Analytics benefits:
The launch of In-Sight Voting Analytics marks the second significant advancement for Kingsdale in the last three months following the aggressive expansion of its strategic communications offerings with a focus on crisis prevention planning and crisis management.
“Our new product offerings are consistent with our goal of delivering the highest level of customer service possible. This means continuously striving to build the only end-to-end shareholder services company in Canada that provides client solutions that are efficient and drives seamless execution,” Hall said.
