Shares

« Back to Glossary Index

Ownership of a company is typically divided among the individuals who founded the company or invested in it. Each single unit of company ownership is called a share.

  • Preferred shares: Receive dividends ahead of common shares but have no voting rights. Less potential for long-term growth.
  • Common shares: Receive dividends last. Have voting rights. Potential to make more money than preferred shares long-term.
