What are shares?
Shares, or equities, represent part ownership of a business. Share owners hope to profit by participating in a company’s performance in the form of dividends, or through capital growth as the value of your shares increases.
Why invest in shares?
With thousands of companies listed on the ASX, you can choose shares from any industry sector, from large, well-known companies down to companies just starting out.
