shareholder
Loading your saved state.
shareholder
A person or institution that owns a share of the nominal capital of a stock corporation (AG) by buying shares and is therefore a co-owner.
Auf der jährlichen Hauptversammlung stimmen die Aktionäre über die Verwendung des Gewinns ab.
At the annual general meeting, the shareholders vote on how the profit will be used.
The word 'Aktionär' (shareholder) is derived from 'die Aktie' (share; stock). The ending '-är' refers to a person who has to do with the thing, similar to 'Millionär' (millionaire).
Als neuer Aktionär erhielt er eine Einladung zur Hauptversammlung.
As a new shareholder, he received an invitation to the annual general meeting.
'Aktionär' (shareholder) is a technical term from the world of finance and business. It is used when talking about the stock market, companies, and capital.
Die Rede des Vorstandsvorsitzenden konnte die Aktionäre nicht überzeugen.
The CEO’s speech could not convince the shareholders.
Common verbs used with 'Aktionär' (shareholder) include 'eine Dividende erhalten' (to receive a dividend), 'auf der Hauptversammlung abstimmen' (to vote at the annual general meeting), and 'Anteile halten' (to hold shares).
Die Aktionäre hoffen auf eine hohe Dividende am Ende des Geschäftsjahres.
The shareholders are hoping for a high dividend at the end of the fiscal year.
investor
An Investor and an Aktionär can both put money into a company. Investor describes a profit-oriented investment of capital and does not require stock ownership; Aktionär refers only to someone who owns shares in a stock corporation. When you are talking about ownership status, Aktionär is therefore more precise.
Der Aktionär besaß Aktien der Gesellschaft und war damit Miteigentümer.
The shareholder owned shares in the company and was therefore a co-owner.
Der Investor finanzierte das Projekt, ohne Aktien der Gesellschaft zu kaufen.
The investor financed the project without buying shares in the company.
