SHAREHOLDER INVESTMENT PROTECTION:

THE MYTHS AND THE FACTS ABOUT RETAIL INVESTING

 

MYTH
There is little that shareholders can do to mitigate their risk when investing in a retail company other than to spread out their risk among several industry market segments and companies.

FACT
Informed shareholders can take measures to mitigate risk by:

  • Insisting upon changes in senior management.
  • Demanding that enhanced corporate governance methods be instituted to protect the shareholders.
  • Terminating their equity participation.

MYTH
Investment bankers, traditional lenders, creditors, bondholders, fund managers, and stock analysts have all the information necessary to evaluate the risks associated with retail investing.

FACT
Historically, investment firms, portfolio managers, and stock analysts have been hampered by a lack of real-time and verifiable information coming from the management within the company. This makes the analysis process difficult and/or inaccurate. It forces the financial services industry into a position of only being able to analyze the numbers and the market trends. Fraud and reckless management rob shareholders of value, and indications of such practices are not readily apparent through traditional methods.
