Why Choose Georgeson

Today more than ever, amassing the votes needed to pursue your corporate strategies is a constant challenge. Shareholders are distracted by many differing demands for their attention. In fact, less than 30% of shareholders vote in response to initial proxy distributions. With the increasing influence of activist elements, high profile individuals, multiple levels of share ownership, and ever-changing regulations, proxy solicitation is becoming more complex.
