Paul Myners has threatened to name and shame fund managers and custodians who fail to embrace electronic voting and solve the problem of lost shareholder votes in the UK following his government-endorsed inquiry.

As he outlined the steps that must be taken by companies, fund trustees, investment managers and custodian to prevent share votes being lost, Myners warned: "I am going to revisit the subject in a year's time. A name and shame exercise at that point may be appropriate."
