Share perksMany companies give their shareholders a discounted price on the company's goods and services. Ferry companies, for instance, offer reduced cross-Channel prices, and restaurant chains reduced prices on meals. These discounts are known as share perks.Conventional wisdom is that you should not take perks into account when buying shares, because the value of the perks is seldom significant, and most companies require you to hold a minimum number of shares to qualify. On the other hand, if buying just one share allows you to take advantage of the perks, then why not?Note that if your shares are registered in the name of a nominee (e.g. a broker account) you will not normally be entitled to share perks.Similar MatchesBearer stocks/sharesBearer stocks/sharesStocks or shares which do not record owner's names and for which the companies do not keep a register of ownership.

Shared AppreciationShared AppreciationThe gaining or retaining of equity in a property by someone other than the buyer. For example: the seller retains a 25% interest in the property. This makes the buyer responsible for only 75% of the purchase price and, therefore, lowers the necessary financing by 25%. This obviously makes the property more affordable. By agreement, expenses are shared as well as any increase in value when the property is sold. Statement of Information (SI): A confidential information statement completed by the buyer, seller and borrower in every transaction where a policy or policies of title insurance are requested. Allows the title company to competently search documents affecting the property to be insured, documents which may not refer to said property. Allows title companies to differentiate between parties with similar names when searching matters such as liens and court decrees.

The current trend is away from paper certificates towards nominee accounts, in which the shares are registered in the name of a nominee company (usually a broker) but held beneficially for the investor client. The advantages of nominee registration is that settlement is quicker, easier and, supposedly, cheaper. In particular, the investor does not have to send in a paper share certificate every time he sells a share.
