Equities

You acquire a fraction of the capital of a company listed at B3.

Return is based on the company’s performance

When you buy equities, you become a partner in a company. You can receive dividends, participate in the results and, in some cases, vote on company decisions. The equity’s price fluctuates in accordance with the market.

A company goes public to raise funds.

  1. 1 The company holds an IPO and begins trading equities on B3.
  2. 2 You buy equities through the home broker platform of your brokerage firm during the trading session.
  3. 3 Return results from the increased price of the equities and from distributed earnings.

Earnings

Dividends and interest on own capital.

Investors can receive part of the company’s profits through these payments. In the case of individual investors, dividends are exempted from Income Tax, while interest on own capital is taxed specifically.

Share types

Voting rights

Ordinary shares (ON): grant the right to vote in meetings. Preferred shares (PN): generally do not grant voting rights, but may have priority when dividends are paid
