By Participating in Key Decisions Before the Public Reacts
Companies make major decisions in the boardroom.
Expansion plans.
Acquisitions.
Management changes.
Mergers.
Dividend declarations.
Capital raising.
All these decisions are tabled during Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and approved by shareholders.
By the time the news reaches TV, radio, newspapers, bloggers, or social media…
Shareholders have already acted.
By the time the public hears the news, it is already history.
Positions have already been taken.
Profits have already been made.
That is the shareholder’s advantage.

How This Affects You
Now, how does this affect you?
The moment you invest in shares, you own a piece of that company.
You become a shareholder.
And as a shareholder, you have the right to participate in the strategic direction of that company through AGMs.
Now some people ask me:
“Alex, I invested through Ziidi Trader and my shares sit under an Omnibus CDS Account.
Do I still have voting rights?”
Yes, my friend.
Whether you own 1 share or 1 million shares, your voice still counts.
You still have full rights to participate in AGM voting.
How the Voting Process Works
Here is how it works:
- You receive an invitation to participate in the AGM voting process.
- Through the Ziidi Trader platform, you fill in the proxy form.
- You nominate Kestrel Capital (the broker) to vote on your behalf.
- Then you indicate your decision:
For
Against
Abstain
- Your vote is then submitted, aggregated, and represented through the omnibus structure.
And yes…
Your decision counts.
You join other shareholders in shaping the future of the company you have invested in.
Do not just buy shares and disappear into the thicket waiting for dividends or share prices to rise.
Be active.
Participate.
Study the companies you invest in.
Contribute to decisions that make your chosen companies stronger.
Because better company decisions can ultimately grow your wealth.
