Broadridge enables proxy voting, investor communications, and voting entitlement reconciliation across Alpaca’s platform
Alpaca, a global leader in agent-first brokerage infrastructure, and a global Fintech leader, Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc., announced the integration of Broadridge’s governance infrastructure for retail and institutional investors into Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network. The partnership brings shareholder governance capabilities including proxy voting, investor communications, voting entitlement reconciliation, and regulatory disclosures across traditional and tokenized equities, helping investors retain the rights, transparency, and protections they expect in traditional capital markets.
“Tokenization has the potential to expand access to global capital markets, but it must preserve the investor protections that market participants already expect,” said Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca. “Through our partnership with Broadridge, we’re combining modern tokenization infrastructure with trusted governance capabilities, enabling our partners to build tokenized investment products without compromising shareholder rights, regulatory compliance, or investor transparency.”
“Today’s announcement marks an important step forward in our goal of enabling the adoption of tokenized equities by ensuring that they are paired with institutional-grade governance capabilities regardless of where they are held or tokenized,” said Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge’s Investor Communication Solutions business. “For decades, Broadridge has invested in the platform that powers investor communications and shareholder engagement for more than 200 million retail and institutional investor accounts globally. We’re now bringing those same capabilities to tokenized equities—enabling accurate voting, specialized investor experiences, and regulatory disclosures.”

Alpaca will continue to provide the regulated brokerage infrastructure that supports the tokenization of equities, including custody and clearing services of the underlying asset. Broadridge complements the infrastructure with shareholder governance services, including proxy voting, investor communications, regulatory disclosures, and voting entitlement reconciliation. Together, the companies enable traditional and tokenized equities to support the ownership rights, transparency, and operational integrity expected in traditional markets.
As tokenized assets are issued and held across multiple blockchain networks and intermediaries, maintaining accurate shareholder records and voting entitlements becomes increasingly complex. Broadridge’s governance platform supports voting delivery and entitlement reconciliation for beneficial and registered holders of tokenized equities, ensuring investors receive required communications and can exercise their shareholder rights regardless of how their assets are held.
Key benefits include:
- Institutional-grade proxy voting and shareholder communications for retail and institutional investors globally
- Consistent and transparent governance capabilities for tokenized and traditional equities
- Single platform for voting and regulatory disclosures for registered and beneficial holders
- A unified operational view for brokers, custodians, corporate issuers, and funds
Institutional investors can integrate voting for tokenized equities into existing governance workflows and reporting, including voting choice programs, while retail investors can access eligible meetings through ProxyVote.com. The solution is supported by governance capabilities with the highest standards for auditability, accountability, and investor protection and designed to support compliance with applicable U.S. regulatory guidelines.
