I have just spent many minutes trying to vote my shares in the Baronsmead VCTs. I received letters giving me a web address for proxy voting and a CIN and “access code” but for some of my multiple holdings on the register the access code is blank. Even when supplied access is rejected in one case.
It’s getting more and more difficult to vote my shareholdings. Similar technical problems arose recently when trying to vote my shares in AJ Bell in the Signal Shares App.
I am generally most diligent in voting all my shareholdings but complexity and technical problems are frustrating doing so. It’s most annoying that companies no longer send out simple proxy voting forms.
Note these are holdings on the share register, either certificated ones or personal crest holdings, so these problems are inexcusable.
