Shares

Shares are normally highly liquid. They have both income and growth characteristics and come in a myriad of styles. Shares are intangible and are a notional way of dividing up a company’s performance and profits into small parcels that are offered to investors to fund the company’s activities.

Shares can be long-term hold prospects or short-term prospects and range in risk from highly speculative to relatively secure blue chip investments.

Examples of share based investments include:

  • Direct share purchases
  • Managed equity funds
  • Options and derivatives
  • Warrants
  • Hedge funds
  • Index funds
