What are preference shares? What are their features?..

Answer / Mr.amit Kumar

Preference Shares are a type of stock that offer priority in the distribution of dividends over common shares but do not confer voting rights. They are hybrid securities with characteristics of both debt and equity. Features include: Fixed Dividend: Preference shares usually pay a fixed dividend, unlike common shares which may or may not pay dividends. Seniority: In case of liquidation, preference shareholders are paid before common shareholders. Non-voting Rights: Preference shareholders do not have voting rights in the company's affairs.
