Capital markets intelligence services traditionally begin with an audit of who currently owns the Issuers shares. ProxyRam’s unique methodology is based upon a fundamental understanding of how disclosure laws can be leveraged to obtain holdings from institutional and custodian bank compliance departments. This methodology (and experience) enables the team to decipher the custodian bank disclosures so that we can correctly identify the beneficial owners of the shares, who is making the investment decisions and who is controlling the voting power.
