Key considerations
Benefits
- Direct ownership
When you buy Australian shares, you become a part-owner of that company. This means you have full shareholder rights, which often include the right to vote and priority access to new stock releases. - Diversification
You can invest in a wide range of listed companies and industry sectors, helping reduce the risk in your portfolio. - Capital gains
Your shares have the potential to provide capital gains. If you buy shares at a certain price and then are able to sell later at a higher price, you can make a profit. - Dividends
If your shares pay dividends, you’ll receive regular payments which are a percentage of company profits.
Risks
- Market risk
Shares can drop in value, meaning you will make a loss if you sell your shares for lower than what you purchased them for. - Volatility
Share prices can vary depending on a range of factors including market, economic and company specific conditions which may result in the value of your investment declining. - Company risk
If the company you invest in fails or underperforms, you might lose some or all of your money. - Dividend risk
Dividends are not guaranteed and a company may decide to reduce or even stop paying dividends at any time.
