INVESTORS AWARENESS TOWARDS EQUITY SHARES

Description

An equity share, commonly referred to as ordinary share also represents the form of fractional or part ownership in which a shareholder, as a fractional owner, undertakes the maximum entrepreneurial risk associated with a business venture. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting rights.

Equity share is a main source of finance for any company giving investors rights to vote, share profits and claim on assets. Various types of equity capital are authorized, issued, subscribed, paid up, rights, bonus, sweat equity etc. The value of equity shares are expressed in terms of face value or par value, issue price, book value, market value etc .A company’s equity share is that part of its capital which reflects the residual value of its assets after taking account of all third party liabilities. The equity capital in a company in liquidation is the property of the holders of ordinary shares hence these shares are often referred to as equities.

Equity shareholders have a right to share in the profits of the company or any surplus assets on winding up. In accordance with legislation and accounting standards, shares in a company’s share capital may usually be either equity shares or non-equity shares. Broadly what distinguishes an equity shareholder from a non-equity shareholder is his/her right as regards dividends and as regards capital. An equity shareholder has the right to participate in a distribution and share in any surplus assets on a winding-up beyond a specified amount.

Equity sharing is another name for shared ownership or co-ownership. It takes one property, more than one owner, and blends them to maximize profit and tax deductions. Typically, the parties find a home and buy it together as co-owners, but sometimes they join to co-own a property one of them already owns.

The holders of these shares are the real owners of the company. They have a voting right in the meetings of holders of the company. They have a control over the working of the company. Equity shareholders are paid dividend after paying it to the preference shareholders.
