Your first thoughts when deciding to risk your money by dipping into equities (stocks and shares) should be cold-hearted and rational and all about the bottom line.
Not: “Do I like it? Is it interesting? Do I like their adverts?”
But rather: “Will this company’s share price ultimately rise or fall over the period that I’m prepared to hold it?”
But companies have for decades looked to shareholder perks to boost their ownership’s appeal, not to mention drive sales and loyalty.
These shareholder perks are rarer than they once were, but are still offered by some companies and in some cases make the shares worth holding in their own right.
In this month’s Investazine, we examine the companies offering up the best, the worst and the downright left-field shareholder perks.
To find out which companies offer more than just returns, download the latest edition of FE Investazine here. Don’t forget to take our reader survey for a chance to win a case of fine wine.
