Voting

Voting on Stake AUS

If you’re a shareholder in a company that’s holding an annual general meeting or has announced a vote on a specific issue, you’ll receive direct correspondence from the company and share registry with all the relevant information including voting procedures and timings. You can also find announcements on the Stake platform on the share detail page.

To take actions in relation to corporate action events, you will need to liaise directly with the applicable share registry or directly with the company/Issuer. 

Please note that Stake as an investment platform has no control and limited visibility over corporate actions and as such may not be able to provide you with certain information.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to customer support team here.

Voting eligibility can vary for fractional shareholders, depending on several factors.

Record date

Since the shareholders of a stock are constantly changing, companies set a record date to determine eligibility for upcoming votes. This date is used as a cut-off point: you'll need to have held the security as of the record date in order to be eligible. These dates are set by the company and are not determined by Stake or our broker-dealer. 

Fractional Vote Value

While you may be invited to vote as a fractional shareholder, the company ultimately decides what value these votes have. Some companies choose to discard votes on fractionals and others may adjust the vote value. These decisions are set by each company and not determined by Stake or our broker-dealer.

Please note that some companies choose to discard votes on fractionals and others may adjust the vote value. These decisions are set by each company and not determined by Stake or our broker-dealer.

If eligible, you’ll receive an email from Stake via Broadridge informing you about an upcoming vote along with proposals and instructions. Just follow the link in the email from "id@proxyvote.com" to have your say.
