MercuryVote
We help mutual funds guarantee quorum while
creating new value for retail shareholders.
The Problem
Approximately
38%
of mutual funds fail to reach quorum.
Mutual funds must secure votes from at least 51% of shares at shareholder meetings to conduct business. Retail investors own about 74% of these shares, yet most do not vote.
When quorum is at risk, funds are pushed into repeated outreach campaigns that increase costs and delay decisions.
The result is a growing resolicitation burden: more letters, more calls, and no guarantee of success.
Why the current process breaks
Opaque
Proxy voting rights sit in fragmented systems and are difficult to identify, access, and activate at scale.
Complex
Funds, brokers, intermediaries, and shareholders operate across a long chain of handoffs that slows execution and reduces reliability.
Expensive
When quorum is at risk, funds spend heavily on outreach and resolicitation just to clear a legal threshold.
Our Solution
We aggregate, monetize, and mobilize retail voting rights to guarantee quorum for mutual fund elections.
"After one successful election, our infrastructure remains in place so funds can stop worrying about quorum every cycle."
MercuryVote enables one-click opt-in listings each election through our platform or brokerage integrations, then shares vote-sale proceeds among shareholders, brokerages, and MercuryVote.
