Enshrined in law to ensure that shareholders, especially smaller shareholders, aren’t ripped off by unscrupulous management and corporate greed. Shareholders get a bad press in my opinion but without them some companies wouldn’t be able to thrive and expand, some certainly wouldn’t exist
Correct again imo. I would imagine even the smallest private pension plan in this country involves a share portfolio. Also, If you’ve spent all your working life serving others in local councils and the like, the chances are that your (justifiably) rather nice pension is backed by investments in share funds amongst other things
Like Pat says, voting with your wallet is the only thing that they’ll listen to
