Broadridge and Alpaca have begun the integration of Broadridge’s governance infrastructure for retail and institutional investors into Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network.
The collaboration enables Broadridge to provide shareholder governance capabilities, including proxy voting, investor communications, voting entitlement reconciliation, and regulatory disclosures across traditional and tokenised equities.
In addition, Alpaca will continue to provide the regulated brokerage infrastructure that supports the tokenisation of equities, including custody and clearing services of the underlying asset.
Together, the companies enable traditional and tokenised equities to support the ownership rights, transparency, and operational integrity expected in traditional markets.
Institutional investors can integrate tokenised equity voting into existing governance workflows and reporting, including voting choice programmes, while retail investors can access eligible meetings through ProxyVote.com.
Doug DeSchutter, president of Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions, states: “Today’s announcement marks an important step forward in our goal of enabling the adoption of tokenised equities by ensuring that they are paired with institutional-grade governance capabilities regardless of where they are held or tokenised.
“For decades, Broadridge has invested in the platform that powers investor communications and shareholder engagement for more than 200 million retail and institutional investor accounts globally. We’re now bringing those same capabilities to tokenised equities.”
Yoshi Yokokawa, co-founder and chief executive of Alpaca, says: “Tokenisation has the potential to expand access to global capital markets, but it must preserve the investor protections that market participants already expect.
“Through our partnership with Broadridge, we’re combining modern tokenisation infrastructure with trusted governance capabilities, enabling our partners to build tokenised investment products without compromising shareholder rights, regulatory compliance, or investor transparency.”
