Stocks and shares are a type of security, defined as part ownership in a company, usually one that is publicly listed. As a shareholder, one is entitled to a portion of the company’s earnings and assets, certain voting rights and a dividend payment, if there is a company dividend declaration. When the company is managed effectively and performs well, the expectation is that the company’s share price will appreciate, resulting in a capital gain for shareholder. Stocks and shares are primarily traded on stock exchanges.
