Digital investor communications platform Proxymity has closed a US$36 million Series C funding round, with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB) joining as a new investor.

The investment brings MUTB into Proxymity’s consortium of backers, which includes some of the world’s largest custody banks, transfer agents, and securities market infrastructure providers.

MUTB is a major player in Japan’s financial services industry and serves as transfer agent for 20 of the country’s top 30 listed companies by market capitalisation as of June 2025.

The new capital will support Proxymity’s efforts to improve its proxy voting and shareholder disclosure technology, as well as expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

The company said the partnership with MUTB will help extend its services to publicly listed firms in Japan.

Dean Little, Co-Founder and CEO at Proxymity, said,

“We are thrilled to have Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation become a consortium member of Proxymity. With this additional funding, we will be able to continue building out our technology and further accelerate our expansion into the APAC region.

We are excited about this partnership as a catalyst for continued growth and delivering exceptional value to our clients and the ecosystem we serve.”

Taku Shimizu, Managing Executive Officer at Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation, said,

“Proxymity continues to redefine investor communications with its innovative, real-time solutions.

We are proud to support their mission as they scale their impact across new geographies.”
