Equity Shares

Equity shares represent ownership in a company. When you buy these shares, you become a part-owner and have a claim on the company’s profits and assets. Equity shareholders can benefit from dividends and capital appreciation if the company performs well. They also have voting rights, allowing them to influence company decisions. While equity shares offer potential for higher returns, they also carry higher risk because the value can fluctuate with the company's performance. Essentially, owning equity shares means sharing in both the successes and risks of the company's growth.
