Abstract
A computer-implemented method, comprises providing, by a platform server configured to hold security assets on behalf of a plurality of user accounts, a plurality of user accounts hosted by the platform server, each of the plurality of user accounts holding shares of a common equity with associated shareholder voting rights. The platform server receives a request to send proxy voting rights, wherein the proxy voting rights indicate a desire of the first user to transfer a shareholder voting instruction to a second user. The platform server determines based on transaction history of one or more user accounts of the plurality of user accounts, one or more recommended proxy users for transferring the proxy voting rights. The platform server transmits to the application executing on the device associated with the first user, a request to select one of the recommended proxy users. Upon receiving a selected proxy user from the first user, the platform server provides the shareholder voting instruction to enable proxy voting by the selected proxy user on behalf of the first user.
