Some investment platforms do not pass on shareholder rights, such as the right to vote and attend meetings, or charge high fees for doing so. This may prevent retail investors having a say on the future of the company and their investments.

We believe enfranchising shareholders can be easily achieved and we think it will support investor confidence and help attract capital to the UK stock market to deliver growth and prosperity.
