Find out what a shareholder is and why you should be a partner in a listed company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Do you know what a shareholder is? Basically, a shareholder is a natural or legal person who owns shares in a corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you buy shares on the stock exchange, you become a shareholder and have a stake in that company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what is the role of such an investor? That's what you'll find out now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a shareholder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a person owns shares in a public limited company, they become the \"owner\" of part of that company, according to the number of shares they have acquired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This investor is called a shareholder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, there is the possibility of other companies being shareholders in a company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three types of shareholders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Controlling shareholder:<\/strong> this shareholder has greater influence over the decision-making of the company in which he has become an investor. In other words, they have control over the shares of the company listed on the stock exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Majority shareholder:<\/strong> is an investor, whether an individual or a company, who holds more than 50% of voting shares in an organization. In this way, they have voting rights and shareholder control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Minority shareholder:<\/strong> although they don't own the majority of the company's shares, minority shareholders have information about the company and must vote on important decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What are the rights of a shareholder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many investors don't know this, but when you become a shareholder, you have a number of rights and duties.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rights are divided into two categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Essential rights:<\/strong> are the rights relating to profit-sharing, supervision of the company and voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Changeable rights:<\/strong> arising from the law or the company statutes. They can be altered or deleted, with the exception of those that are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a shareholder make money?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After all, how does a shareholder make money?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remuneration can take the following forms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Price appreciation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you buy shares in a company, the most common way to make a profit is through share price appreciation, especially in the long term if the company performs well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Dividends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dividends are a portion of a company's profits distributed to shareholders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is important to know that dividends<\/a> are distributed according to each shareholder's percentage stake in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Share buybacks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A share buyback is a procedure whereby the company acquires shares on the market in order to hold them in its treasury or cancel them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to add more value to the members, the company can carry out share programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these situations, the company uses cash and repurchases shares that are circulating on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"cita\u00e7\u00e3o\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What are the main types of shares?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who wants to become a shareholder also needs to know what the main types of shares are.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, the most important types of shares for listed companies are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Ordinary shares<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ordinary shares (ON) give you the right to vote at company meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voting takes place in proportion to the number of shares held by each investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, in practice, anyone who owns 1 paper is entitled to 1 vote. On the other hand, those who own 500 papers are entitled to 500 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the greater the number of shares, the more relevance the shareholder will have in the company's main decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Preference shares<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Preferred shares (PN) do not grant shareholders the right to vote at meetings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, those who own these shares have preference when it comes to receiving the company's profits in the dividend distribution process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Units<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unit shares are a combination of ordinary and preference shares.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that anyone who buys a unit acquires a number of shares in the same company, but of different types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantage in this case is that you only pay for the package once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How to start investing and become a shareholder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To become a shareholder in a publicly traded company, i.e. those traded on the Stock Exchange, you need to acquire at least one share in the company in question.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's how to start investing in shares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Know your investor profile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The investor profile is an analysis that identifies your preferences and expectations in relation to investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some brokers offer a questionnaire free of charge to help you identify your profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That way, they can identify which financial products are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to remember that shares are variable income investments and therefore there are more risks involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, they are recommended for bolder profiles, who have a higher tolerance for risk, and moderate profiles, who are investors who prioritize security but are willing to give up part of it in order to obtain good returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Open an account with a stock broker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To invest in the stock market, you need to have an account with a stock broker, which is a financial institution authorized to operate on the trading floor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before you choose a particular broker, you need to analyze a few factors, such as brokerage fees, the availability of investment reports,<\/a> the company's reputation in the market, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normally, to open an account with a broker, you need to send photos of some personal documents, such as your ID card, and fill out a registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Choose stocks and build your portfolio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To be successful on the stock market, you need to develop an investment strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, you can increase profits and dilute risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you've put together an investment strategy, then it's time to choose the assets you want to invest in and make the purchase!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
