“For broker-dealers and custodians, Say turns distribution of mandatory shareholder materials into an engagement and brand opportunity, increasing customer stickiness, new account openings, and asset growth,” the press release stated.

“Say also enables issuer-shareholder interaction outside the traditional framework of investor communications, giving companies unprecedented, low-cost access to their shareholder base and providing shareholders access to previously unused or non-existent ownership rights”

Why It’s Important

Through Say’s artificial intelligence technology, combined with DriveWealth’s advanced platform, existing brokers and advisors will be exposed to a revitalized client engagement opportunity.

“DriveWealth has used technology to modernize the legacy brokerage model, increasing efficiency and reducing costs feature by feature across the investing lifecycle,” said DriveWealth CEO Robert Cortright. “The investor communications and proxy voting system seemed impervious to innovation until we saw what Say was building. The future potential of our long-term partnership is what’s most exciting to us.”
