Building the connected world of investor communications

Proxymity is a digital proxy voting and shareholder identification platform that connects issuers, intermediaries and investors in real time, replacing fragmented, manual processes with a single, transparent pathway.
Our mission
For decades, the world’s proxy votes moved through infrastructure built for a slower age: fragmented, manual and opaque. Everyone knew it was broken.
We set out to fix it.
Founded in 2017 by Dean Little and Jonathan Smalley, two asset servicing experts who knew the problem inside out, Proxymity was built to bring real-time connectivity to the custody chain. Our vision was simple: create a transparent line of sight from issuer to investor, and back again.
Today, Proxymity powers investor communications across more than 105 markets, connecting issuers, issuer agents, custodians, brokers and investors through a single digital network. More than 2,500 issuers are connected to our platform, millions of votes and ballots have been processed through our technology, and we are backed by ten of the world’s leading financial institutions.
What began as an ambitious idea has become critical market infrastructure. We have transformed how shareholder information and voting data move around the world, replacing fragmented manual processes with real-time, transparent and connected workflows.
And we’re only just getting started.
