   There are a number of different shares you can buy, including preference shares, bonds, and gilts but the most popular type is the ordinary share. Ordinary shares simply represent ownership of a company.
   
   So, when you buy shares, also known as equities or stocks, you literally become a part-owner of that business. If, for example, a ABC Plc has 100,000 shares worth Rs. 1 each and you buy Rs. 1,000 of shares, you own 1% of the company.
   
   Companies do not have to list on the stock market to issue shares. Many businesses start life with friends and family as shareholders. These businesses are called unlisted firms and their shares are often referred to as ‘unquoted’.
   
   There are more than 654 companies listed on the KSE market, from big international brands such as P&G, SCB and etc to national household names such as OGDC, MCB, PSO and NBP.
   
   As a shareholder you have a say in the company’s affairs by voting at company meetings and, of course, the ability to share in its fortunes. If the company does well, the value of your investment should rise but if it does badly, you could see your shares fall in value.
