The main benefit is that you can make money, sometimes very quickly.
- But owning shares as opposed to unit trusts or other investment funds holds another advantage....
*CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY.
- with shares you hold your own destiny in your own hands. You can determine your own risk strategy to suit you. You can decide in which shares you want to invest, when to buy and when to sell. That way you're in complete control of your profits, instead of giving control of your money to someone that might not have your best interests at heart.
*MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD.
- As a shareholder you can use your rights effectively. You could for instance make your voice heard at a company AGM. There you can vote to sack a bad director, or you can be part of a vote that sets the company on a new growth path!
- You'll be able to attend AGMs and make your feelings known. By speaking out, and asserting your right to be kept informed of appropriate developments, you may be able to influence the direction and policy of the company.
- You'll be able to take a direct, personal interest in the company, its products and services, and the industry in which it operates. You'll share its vision and its goals, along with any dividends that might come your way.
* NO MATTER HOW SMALL YOUR SHAREHOLDING, YOU'RE MORE THAN JUST AN INVESTOR.
- You're an owner of the company! Of course, if you don't want to become proactive in the company affairs that's also fine. You'll be able to make money from your shares, and you can assign your voting rights to someone else that can take them up on your behalf.
