How it works

There are several types of shares and share classes. The most basic ones are ordinary shares, also known as common shares. This represents the basic voting shares of a corporation.
You may also come across preferential shares which guarantee their holders preferential payment of dividends and a share in liquidation balance. In addition, there are employee shares which corporations issue to their employees as a means of incentive.
There’s also the dwindling issuance of bearer share which is equity security wholly owned by whoever holds the physical stock certificate.


How to invest

Simply create a trading account, deposit funds in it, sign in to the application, and you are ready to start trading.

When you become a shareholder, you are eligible to receive dividends. The only risk is that nobody knows in advance if the company will make a profit and thus be in the position to pay dividends.
