Broadridge’s Regulatory Communications Business Is the Source of Its Wide Moat
Broadridge Financial Solutions has been the dominant proxy and interim services provider for broker/dealers for more than 20 years. Its regulated proxy and interim business is its crown jewel, and a disproportionate amount of its net income comes from its fiscal third and fourth quarters during proxy season. Broadridge generates over 30% of its fee revenue and EBITDA from its global technology and operations segment, which provides securities processing solutions. Broadridge has benefited from higher engagement of retail investors through higher position growth and elevated trading volume.
