experienced financial executive with decades of
work in the field. Also a past economic advisor to

Also referred to as a stockholder, a shareholder is a
person that owns a portion, or share, of a
company. Shareholders profit when a company
does well but can lose money when companies
struggle.
 Although shareholders do not directly run a
company or make operational decisions, they
do have a number of rights. In addition to
being able to attend corporate meetings,
shareholders are allowed to vote on corporate
decisions, inspect the company’s records, and
trade shares of the company they own on the
stock market. It is important to note that
company-specific policies toward shareholders
can differ, and the particular policy is outlined
in a corporate charter specific to that individual
company.
