Investing in shares

Shares are interests in a company organized as a stock corporation. With a share, the private investor thus owns a part of the stock corporation. The shareholder is therefore an equity investor in the company.

Shares can be subscribed at www.invesdor.com. After registering, you can view all investment documents and become a shareholder on the respective campaign page. After the investment, you will receive a certificate of subscription, the invoice for your share purchases and further information via email from invesdor.com. You will be a shareholder of the issuer after acceptance of the certificate of subscription and registration of the capital increase in the commercial register. Your shares will be held as registered shares in the Invesdor share register (Owners Portal).

In the case of shares, there is no current, fixed interest rate but a profit-related, annual dividend. However, whether a dividend is distributed to shareholders or the profit is reinvested in the company to increase the enterprise value depends on the issuer's distribution policy.

The taxation of capital gains depends on the domicile of both the issuer and the investor. This is general tax information that cannot replace individual advice from a tax advisor.

With an investment in shares, you participate directly in the equity of a company. In contrast to investors who invest in mezzanine capital (subordinated loans), equity investors have the opportunity to participate in the increase in the company value and thus achieve higher returns. This also entails a higher risk of losing the capital invested in the event of the company's insolvency and not receiving a dividend payment respectively.
