Hello everybody! Ruslan Miftakhov welcomes you, and today I will tell you about cumulative shares These are a type of preferred securities. Today we will analyze their differences and advantages from the others.

Securities are an active tool for investors, but not everyone understands the essence of the concept “cumulative”. So, let's get started.

Main classification

First, you need to understand the main classification of shares and decide what place we are considering in it.

Now let's move on to directly consider cumulative shares, which are the most common among preferred shares.

What are their features and advantages?

Their main features, resulting mainly in advantages:

They give the right to receive both current dividends and those missed due to difficult financial condition organization or for other reasons. This means that unpaid earnings will accumulate in the shareholder's account for future payments.
Accrued debt is repaid before payments are made on the company's common stock.
If declared dividends have not been paid, then the owners of cumulative assets can participate in the general meeting of shareholders with the right to vote on all issues discussed at it until all payments due to them are made. Therefore, the founders of organizations, in order not to share votes with the owners of cumulative securities when making important decisions, always try to pay such dividends.
Unpaid income accumulates over a period that must not exceed 3 years.
This intermediate view between a common stock and a bond. Like a bond, it presupposes a certain purchase price, as well as a guaranteed return. The difference from a bond is that payments on it are still tied to the organization’s profit.
The amount of income paid on them is stipulated in the charter of the enterprise. And for some organizations this may be 14% of the value of the asset itself, while for others it can be no less than 10% of the profit received, divided by the number of shares constituting 25% of the total authorized capital.
The higher the profit, the higher the tax to be paid. Accordingly, this type of asset requires payment larger amount tax

Cumulative, as well as non-cumulative shares, depending on the possibility of exchange for ordinary shares, can be convertible or non-convertible.

If we talk about Russia, our companies do not seek to issue perpetual assets, and generally set a period after which such securities will be converted into ordinary ones or withdrawn. This condition is always written down when the paper is issued, indicating the exact date of conversion.

Also, both types of preferred securities according to the method of calculating dividends are divided into:

Papers with fixed income - assume the establishment of a constant amount of payments upon issue for the entire period of ownership of the asset. And if interest rates decrease, the issuer will make inflated payments, and vice versa, if interest rates increase over time, the investor will receive income below the market one.
WITH floating(additional) amount of income - assume the presence of a lower limit of paid income in any current situation. The terms of such payments may be adjusted by the issuer. Such assets also entitle their owners to primary participation in the division of the remaining profits after all payments made.
WITH adjustable a rate at which upper and lower limits of profitability are provided, for example, from 5 to 10%. Profits paid are adjusted depending on changes interest rates on government bonds, or rates financial instruments in the market with short-term capital.

This approach reduces the degree of risk for cumulative and non-cumulative securities, but of course it is impossible to completely eliminate them. And if government bonds exceed the ceiling, then shareholders will receive an inflated interest rate.

WITH auction rate - when the size of the dividend is determined at an auction held by the issuing company or bank. The idea is that prospective investors submit applications indicating the amount of expected profit and the number of assets to be purchased. After which the auction organizer summarizes and analyzes all the information to determine the level of income. It is this type that most truthfully reflects the current market situation.

Based on the above, I would like to conclude that investing in cumulative shares is quite a profitable business, will you agree with me? After all, their exchange rate is growing, and dividends are guaranteed to be paid.

Of course, in any case, before making a decision to invest in the assets of a particular company, you need to take into account all the factors and features of the invested object that affect the future expected profit.

Well, for better understanding, reinforce the material with the video below.

I would like to wish you success! And this is where we end today’s article.

Goodbye! Best regards, Ruslan Miftakhov.

Preference shares- this is a special type of equity securities, which, unlike ordinary shares, have special rights, but also have a number of specific restrictions.

Preferred shares are a common financial instrument in Russia and around the world.

It allows the owner to receive guaranteed income based on the dividend rates offered by the issuer of securities.

Also, in some cases, the holder of such shares can influence the company’s development strategy.

Advantages of preferred shares

Preferred shares have a number of advantages for investors when compared to ordinary securities.

Firstly, the owner of preferred shares is almost always guaranteed some income.

Namely, preferred shares accrue a fixed income, unlike ordinary shares, which depend on the profit of the joint-stock company.

However, dividends are not paid if the company has incurred losses.

Secondly, funds for the payment of dividends are allocated to holders of such securities as a matter of priority.

That is, holders of preferred shares also have the right to receive part of the property of the joint stock company in the event of its liquidation, before it is divided among other owners.

Thirdly, dividends on preferred shares are usually fixed in the total net profit.

In addition, these shareholders may have additional rights specified in the company's charter documents.

For example, they may, under certain conditions, convert their preferred shares into .

Disadvantages of preferred shares

There are also disadvantages to owning preferred shares:

The issuing company may demand the shares back from the shareholder without giving reasons, while fully compensating the damage with interest;

Preferred shares often do not carry voting rights. That is, holders of privileged rights are deprived of the right to vote and, thus, deprived of the opportunity to participate in the management process of the joint-stock company and make decisions important for society;

Fixed size dividends. Often the amount of dividends is indicated when issuing securities of this type and does not depend on the size of the company’s profit, which, with an increase in business profitability, entails a proportional decrease in the profitability of these securities.

How are preferred shares different from ordinary shares?

The very name “preferred” shares indicates that such shares give additional features and rights, so to speak, a special status.

As a rule, such benefits include the payment of guaranteed dividends.

That is, the owner of preferred shares will receive payments regardless of how the shareholders are doing - the joint stock company will receive profits or losses.

Also, unlike ordinary shares, preferred shares give the right to receive a share of the company's assets after its liquidation.

That is, the preferred shareholder will receive a predetermined amount from the joint stock company.

For such benefits, the owner of preferred shares is deprived of the opportunity to participate in voting and influence the decisions of the joint-stock company.

Thus, the owner of such shares is an indifferent investor, so to speak, not a co-owner of the business, which cannot be said about those who own ordinary shares.

However, some cases of privileges may involve just influence on the affairs of the company. In this case, the charter of the joint-stock company provides for the ratio of votes of owners of ordinary and preferred shares, for example 1:2. So, it turns out that the owner of one preferred share has two votes.

Certain cases provide the right to influence the affairs of the company and participate in meetings to those owners who cannot vote.

Such cases are also provided for by law to protect the interests of owners. Thus, the holders of all shares issued by the company can influence decisions related to the liquidation or reorganization of the company.

There are also issues relating to shareholders that cannot be resolved without their participation. For example, when guaranteed dividends are reduced.

If the JSC is unable to pay guaranteed dividends, then the preferred shareholder receives full right to participate in company meetings on all issues.

It's also worth noting that preference shares can be convertible and cumulative.

Rights of preferred shareholders

Holders of preferred securities, on the same basis as the main shareholders, receive a share in the authorized capital of the company and have the right to attend general meetings.

Despite the fact that the holder of such securities does not have voting rights, he can participate in shareholder meetings and claim a share of the property upon liquidation of the organization.

Admission to voting

IN general case holders of preferred shares are not allowed to vote.

An exception may be cases when decisions made during the relevant negotiations affect the personal interests of the owners of securities.

In particular, if meetings are particularly high on the agenda important questions, preferred asset holders can vote. These could be questions reflecting the procedure for a possible reorganization of the company or liquidation of the company, those related to making adjustments to the charter, those related to the rights of holders of preferred shares or, for example, the payment of dividends.

Types of preferred shares

Preferred shares are divided into classes with varying amounts of rights.

According to the law Russian Federation“On Joint-Stock Companies” mainly distinguishes two main types of preferred shares: cumulative and convertible.

Dividends on cumulative preferred shares may not be paid on ordinary reporting periods by decision general meeting shareholders, if there is no profit or it is completely aimed at the development of the company.

At the same time, the obligation to pay lost income remains.

Dividends are accumulated and paid after stabilization financial situation joint stock company.

That is, the peculiarity of cumulative preferred shares is the accumulation of dividends. Owners of cumulative preferred shares have the right to accumulate unpaid dividends, accrue them and pay them in the period following the missed period. In this case, dividends are not subject to periodic payment.

The holder of a cumulative share acquires the right to vote at a meeting of shareholders for the period during which he did not receive dividends, and loses it after the payment of dividends.

Convertible preferred stock can be exchanged by the owner of the stock during a specified period for common stock or another type of preferred stock.

When issuing such securities, the rate, proportionality and exchange period are determined.

There are also the following types of preferred shares:

non-cumulative, for which unpaid dividends are not added to the dividends of subsequent years;

unconverted, which cannot change their status;

with participation shares that entitle the holders of these shares to receive additional dividends in excess of the stipulated dividends.

Results

The advantages of preferred shares include the shareholder's rights:

receive a fixed income or income as a percentage of the value of shares, or a certain amount Money, which is paid regardless of the performance of the joint-stock company;

to receive dividends first;

for preferential participation after satisfying the creditors' claims in the distribution of property remaining with the joint-stock company upon its liquidation;

for an additional payment if the amount of dividends paid on ordinary shares exceeds the amount of dividends paid on preferred shares.

Note that if you want to invest in long-term investments, then the method of purchasing preference shares is the most suitable.

To increase the attractiveness of its preferred shares, a company may offer investors a payout cumulative dividends. This means that during periods when the board of directors decides not to pay dividends, they do not burn but accumulate as debt to shareholders. When dividend payments are resumed, the amount of accumulated debt is paid first. To better understand the situation, let's consider it with an example.

Thus, cumulative dividend preferred shares are attractive to investors who can afford the lack of regular income. From this point of view, such investments can be extremely attractive in the long term, since, as a rule, they offer higher returns than bonds of the same company. However, the risks of such investments will be somewhat higher, therefore credit rating bonds of the same issuer will be higher than the credit rating of its preferred shares.
