Peter Fowler, Chief Commerical Officer at Lumi says:

This year has witnessed remarkable strides in shareholder democracy. Yet, significant challenges remain in improving inclusivity at AGMs and streamlining communication between issuers and their underlying shareholders. 

There’s no doubt the current ownership system is tangled in red tape, blocking direct communication between companies and retail shareholders. 

Join the movement


We can all work together to achieve true inclusivity. This involves legislative updates, a shift in board perspectives, and industry-wide consensus with issuers, trading platforms, and registrars to remove barriers for shareholders.
