Hi everyone, thank you for coming back to my blog. I hope you found my last blog interesting and useful, where I covered \u2018Warren Buffett\u2019s Investing Advice for Non-Professional Investors\u2019.In this blog, I\u2019m going to cover the importance of the role of being a shareholder because many shareholders don\u2019t understand how crucial their role is. Most investors purchase shares of companies because they feel this is a profitable way to invest their money, but do not realise that the money they spend on shares will be used to finance the different activities of this company.As a shareholder, you get to have a say in how the money you invest is spent. Shareholder advocacy is about drawing attention to the practices you perceive as problematic so the companies you invested in consider changing their behaviours.Purchasing shares of a company makes you an owner. This doesn\u2019t mean you get to run the company or that your opinion will be sought before making important decisions. However, you have the right to express your opinion and the board of directors or CEO are required to listen to you.Drawing attention to negative practices such as, outsourcing production to sweatshops, implementing practices with disastrous consequences on the environment, or explaining why employees or customers are not treated fairly is a good start.Shareholder advocacy can also lead to ousting the current management of a company, especially if there is evidence that the company isn\u2019t run in an ethical manner, or if the management is making decisions that expose your investment to unnecessary risks.The most efficient way to draw attention to an issue is to work towards getting a resolution passed. A resolution (sometimes referred to as a proposal), is a document that presents an issue and a solution to change the company\u2019s behaviours or reduce its exposure\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
