Types of shares A company may have many different types of shares that come with different conditions and rights. There are four main types of shares: Ordinary shares are standard shares with no special rights or restrictions. They have the potential to give the highest financial gains, but also have the highest risk. Ordinary shareholders are the last to be paid if the company is wound up. Preference shares typically carry a right that gives the holder preferential treatment when annual dividends are distributed to shareholders. Shares in this category receive a fixed dividend, which means that a shareholder would not benefit from an increase in the business' profits. However, usually they have rights to their dividend ahead of ordinary shareholders if the business is in trouble. Also, where a business is wound up, they are likely to be repaid the par or nominal value of shares ahead of ordinary shareholders. Cumulative preference shares give holders the right that, if a dividend cannot be paid one year, it will be carried forward to successive years. Dividends on cumulative preference shares must be paid, despite the earning levels of the business, provided the company has distributable profits. Redeemable shares come with an agreement that the company can buy them back at a future date - this can be at a fixed date or at the choice of the business. A company cannot issue only redeemable shares.

Classification of equity shares in the stock marketIn the stock market, equity shares are classified into the following categories:1. Bluechip shares. These are shares of large, well-established and financially sound companies, e.g. Reliance, Larson & Toubro, Asian paints, and Infosys, which have an impressive record of earnings and dividend payments. Such shares yield a low-to-moderate current yield and moderate-to-high capital gains yield. Moreover, the price fluctuations also will be moderate.2. Growth shares. These are shares of those companies which have a secured position in the market and enjoy an above average rate of growth and profitability. Growth shares generally provide a very low current yield and a very high capital gain yield. Very often growth shares are also bluechip shares.3. Income share. The shares of companies that have fairly stable operations with relatively limited growth opportunities are income shares. Such shares provide a very high current yield and a very low capital gains yield. Such shares are fairly stable in the market. E.g. shares of power supply companies and tea companies.4. Defensive shares. These are shares of companies that are relatively unaffected by the ups and downs in general business conditions.
