what is the difference between equity and shares?

Answer 1

Equity is the total dollar value of your investment. Lets say you invest $1000 dollars, that is your equity. With your equity you would invest in a company. Let's say you like Microsoft, so you would buy shares of the company. So you would have $1000 in equity, comprised of 20 shares of stock. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Equity Vs Shares

Answer 3

Not much; a share is literally a "share of equity" in the company in question.

The main difference is that shares sometimes convey certain voting rights; most allow the holder a vote per share, or they may be non-voting shares. Companies generally use non-voting shares so that the controlling person, or group of people, can maintain control of the company's decision-making process while owning less than 50% of equity; I believe the Patak family (the indian food company) do that, holding voting shares themselves, with a few other voting shares being sold, and mostly non-voting shares available on the stock market.

Answer 4

shares are a part ownership in a business. Equity is the value of the assets of the business less liabilities. They are not the same. Generally, the value of the shares is much greater than the value of the equity.

Answer 5

Equity is the owner's share of the business, shares are a units of the equity.

Mutual funds are a combination of different investments. Each fund has its own rules and style. Some funds own just equity (stocks) while others own just debt (bonds). Mutual funds will give you more diversified investments that individual equity shares. Depending on how much money you have (at least $5,000,000) you could set-up your own mutual fund, do you own research and put together a diversified portfolio. Or you could invest whatever money yo have into other mutual funds.
