Definition of equity securities

Equity securities are financial instruments issued by companies or the state in order to attract investment. They represent shares in the authorized capital of a company or debt that the issuer undertakes to return to investors within certain periods with the payment of interest.

Shares are one of the main types of equity securities. They provide the right to receive a share in the company's profits and participate in its management. The owner of shares becomes a shareholder of the company and has certain voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders.
