What Are The Benefits Of Owning Shares?
There are three principal benefits of share ownership: • The shareholder benefits from the growth in the value of his or her shares over time. That is, the shares can come to be worth much more than was paid for them. This is known as price appreciation. • The shareholder can receive income through dividends declared by the company’s directors periodically. • The shareholder gets the opportunity to participate in the continuing development of some of the country’s bestrun companies and in this way helps to strengthen the economy.
