iActs® Vote Manager Launch

The Second Release on the Re-Engineered, Award-Winning iActs® v3 Platform

As proxy voting structures evolve in response to regulatory reform and expanded stewardship participation, T-SCAPE today announced the launch of iActs® Vote Manager - designed to transform proxy voting from an operational burden into a controlled, transparent governance process.

Built on the re-engineered award-winning iActs® v3 architecture, Vote Manager operates within a single, resilient and scalable environment that brings together operations, front office teams and client investors through structured workflows and pass-through participation, while interacting with intermediaries via ISO 20022-aligned messaging. The v3 architecture delivers enhanced interoperability and operational resilience, providing a unified framework capable of supporting evolving market structures, regulatory mandates, and complex decision-oversight requirements.

As the first governance-focused product in the iActs® suite, Vote Manager addresses the growing structural complexity of proxy voting across global markets. Investment managers - acting as fiduciaries - must operate across multiple custody arrangements, jurisdictions, voting policies, and stakeholder expectations, while maintaining transparency, auditability, and demonstrable oversight.

Key Highlights

• Modern Technology Architecture: Powered by the rebuilt iActs® v3 architecture for enhanced scalability, performance, and open interoperability.

• Transparency by Design: Comprehensive visibility and real-time auditability across the full voting lifecycle.

• Dual Loop Pass-Through Voting: Enables structured pass-through participation between investment managers and investors, supported by ISO 20022-aligned notification, instruction and confirmation processes.

• Ecosystem Integration: Open APIs enabling seamless connectivity with both legacy infrastructure and modern digital environments.

• Compliance-Ready: Aligned with SRD II and ISO 20022 standards, and adaptable to evolving requirements including SRD III.

Proxy voting has evolved beyond a linear, advisor-led process. Decisions are increasingly shaped by internal stewardship frameworks, layered policy structures, and expanded participation by beneficial owners - all under heightened regulatory and governance scrutiny. These dynamics are transforming proxy voting into a coordinated decision-making process requiring alignment across front-office teams, stewardship functions, intermediaries, and clients.

iActs® Vote Manager provides the governance and orchestration layer that connects voting inputs to execution, ensuring voting decisions remain structured, transparent and auditable. It enables investment managers to coordinate voting across complex custody structures and client types while maintaining oversight and accountability.

At its core is Dual Loop Pass-Through Voting - a structured model that enables investment managers to extend voting participation to investors while maintaining full operational control and governance oversight within iActs®.

ISO 20022-aligned messaging supports the structured transmission of notifications, instructions and confirmations, ensuring consistency and traceability as market and regulatory requirements evolve.

"Proxy voting has become a governance challenge, not just an operational one. iActs Vote Manager has been built to help investment managers, and in particular private wealth managers, maintain control and connectivity across increasingly complex voting structures, ensuring oversight remains robust in an increasingly digital market." — Paul FitzGerald, Product Director at T-Scape
