Answer Posted / avinash kunder (mumbai)
Debentures are debt security issued by companies, having a
certain MATURITY and bearing a stated COUPON RATE.
Debentures may be unsecured or secured by ASSETS such as
land and building of the issuing company. Debenture holders
have a prior claim on the earnings (coupon) and ASSETS in
the event of liquidation, as compared to PREFERENCE and
equity shareholders.

although preferred stock shareholders do not enjoy any of
the voting rights of common stockholders.The main benefit
to owning preference shares are that the investor has a
greater claim on the company's assets than common
stockholders Preferred shareholders always receive their
dividends first and, in the event the company goes bankrupt.
