Changing How Millions of Investors Shape Corporate Governance

BetaNXT and Tumelo deliver a unified pass-through voting choice solution that empowers investors to influence how pooled-fund shares are voted, while driving engagement, loyalty and asset growth across multiple strategies.

Proxy voting is undergoing a profound transformation. Investors want greater visibility into how their capital influences corporate behavior and a stronger voice in those decisions, while regulators continue to raise the bar on stewardship disclosure. At the same time, governance is increasingly politicized — creating operational and reputational challenges for asset managers and brokers.

The industry is converging on one clear conclusion: a scalable, investor-centric model for voting choice is no longer optional, it’s a strategic imperative.

What Is Voting Choice and Why It Matters

Voting choice — also known as pass-through voting — enables institutional and retail investors in pooled or commingled funds to vote their shares. This approach gives beneficial owners a voice in corporate governance through the platforms they already trust — broker portals, advisor interfaces and other investor-facing experiences. 

This alignment is critical in today’s environment:

• Regulators expect transparency and robust stewardship reporting
• Investors demand meaningful participation and alignment with their values
• Asset managers and brokers need defensible, future-ready voting processes

The traditional proxy voting model wasn’t built for this new reality. As retail participation in pooled products like ETFs and mutual funds grow, asset managers face mounting pressure to modernize.

The question is: How can firms deliver meaningful voting choice at scale without adding operational complexity?
