We talked about how a company must make shares available to the public through an initial public offering (IPO) and the IPO process. What we did not say was that there a public company may opt to offer either ordinary shares or preference shares. In this article we will look at the differences between <strong>Ordinary shares and Preference Shares<\/strong>. Firstly, each type of shares has its advantages and disadvantages. An investor may chose to have the majority of his investment capital in either preference of common stock based on his risk tolerance. Here are the major differences between the two.<\/p>\n<p>Ordinary shares, also called common stock, grant an investor a &#8220;say&#8221; in the direction of the company. This is done by way of the investor having the right to vote at the company&#8217;s annual general meeting. We can further compare ordinary and preferred shares on the following bases.<\/p>\n<h2>1. A Claim on the Company&#8217;s Assets<\/h2>\n<p><em>Advertisement<\/em><br>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8845932375528187\" data-ad-slot=\"2603191150\"><\/ins><br>\n<script><br \/>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>If a company should fall into financial difficulty leading to bankruptcy Preference Share Holders will have first dibs on the assets of the company. By extension, when the assets are liquidated the Preferred share holders will have to be paid before Ordinary share holders. This is a major advantage of the Preferred shares especially in the case of start ups.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. Preference Share Holders and Voting Rights<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike Ordinary share holders, preference share holders do not have voting rights. The are not allowed to vote on resolutions proposed at Annual General Meetings.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Dividends<\/h2>\n<p>Preference Shares typically have a predetermined yield. For example, the preference shares of Jamaica Public Service paying 5.5% will be listed as JPS 5.5%. In the case of Preference shares, the payout is predicable and often reliable, except in extenuating circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><em>Advertisement<\/em><br>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8845932375528187\" data-ad-slot=\"2603191150\"><\/ins><br>\n<script><br \/>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if for some reason the company cannot pay dividends for a particular period then the payment accrues until such a time when they can pay. It is important for me to state that the owner of Ordinary shares is NOT entitled to a dividend payment. He is at the mercy of the Board of Directors of the company in this regard.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>4. Volatility in Price for Preference Shares vs Ordinary Shares<\/h2>\n<p>Price in respect to Preferred Shares are normally very stable. Prices for preference shares do not vary as much as for ordinary shares. The primary reason for this is that the yield is already known. The stability in prices is an advantage in bad markets when stock prices tend to trend down. It turns out that price stability of preference shares is also a disadvantage in a bull market when stock prices trend up.<\/p>\n<p><em>Advertisement<\/em><br>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br>\n<!-- Caribbean Financial RoundUP - July 27 Ads --><br>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8845932375528187\" data-ad-slot=\"4457756974\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><br>\n<script><br \/>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h2>5. Capital Appreciation<\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned in the previous point, Preference shares tend to have stable prices. This mean there is not much prospect for capital appreciation in these stocks. Essentially, the possibility for capital appreciation is limited with Preference Shares. In contrast, prices for common stocks\/ ordinary shares tend to be very volatile. The spread may be as much as 50% from top (the highest it has been) to bottom (the lowest it has been) over a 12 month period. That being said, there is a significantly higher possibility for the investor in ordinary shares to realise high percentages of capital appreciation.<br>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>A very well thought out portfolio of stocks will include both preference and ordinary shares. Preference shares may be bought for the purpose of providing income in the form of dividends. They also provide a reasonable amount of stability for the portfolio. Ordinary shares add the growth component to the portfolio. An investor should speak with a certified Financial Advisor to asses his risk tolerance and use that to decide the weighing for preference and ordinary shares in his stock portfolio.<br>\n<em>Ads by Google <em><br>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8845932375528187\" data-ad-slot=\"2603191150\"><\/ins><br>\n<script><br \/>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<br \/>\n<\/script><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test your knowledge<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Caribbean Value Investor Corporation (NYSE: $CVIC)  recently had its Initial Public Offering, it listed two sets of shares.
