BetterInvesting, Moxy Vote Partner to Educate, Empower Retail Investors

Nonprofit Association and Online Service to Bring Main Street Closer to the Executive Suite

MADISON HEIGHTS, Mich., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- BetterInvesting, the premier nonprofit association serving the retail investor, today announced a strategic partnership with Moxy Vote in which the two organizations will work together to promote Moxy Vote's free online proxy-voting service. This partnership will build awareness of Moxy Vote's simplified proxy-voting process among BetterInvesting's retail investors.

"We're excited to work with Moxy Vote," said Kamie Zaracki, CEO of BetterInvesting. "Since 1951, our association has been advocating that investors aren't simply holders of stock shares — they're owners of companies who should participate in the ownership by voting their proxies. Moxy Vote makes this easier for retail investors by providing a single site for maintaining proxy information, voting and obtaining information on the issues from their 40 participating Advocate organizations. This partnership will help us fulfill our mission of providing sound education that helps shareowners make better investment decisions."

Moxy Vote co-founder Mark Schlegel says: "BetterInvesting has served the investment education needs of more than 5 million people over its history and as a result brings a wealth of experience and insight on how Moxy Vote should market its services to retail investors. Moxy Vote wants to put more information into the hands of retail investors, who hold 30 percent of publicly traded shares, and give the so-called little guy a needed voice in the boardrooms of the companies they own."
