FedSoc Forums Proxy Plumbing - A Primer for the Coming Policy Debate
Jun 18, 2025
55:50
The SEC has periodically examined the ecosystem governing public company shareholder communications and voting—the “proxy plumbing ecosystem”—and it is expected that the SEC will again review this area under soon-to-be SEC Chairman Paul Atkins’ leadership. This panel will focus on how the proxy ecosystem works, the organizations that control and maintain the “plumbing” and the roles each participant plays in assuring that shareholders can get their votes executed.
Consider this a primer so that when the debate occurs you can follow it, and why some will vociferously seek to maintain the status quo while others will with equal force seek to disrupt it.
Featuring:
Lawrence Conover, Vice President, Special Advisor for Proxy & Corporate Actions, Broadridge
Hon. Troy Paredes, Founder, Paredes Strategies LLC
Matthew Thornton, Deputy General Counsel, Investment Company Institute
