Benefits of Investing in CSE
(From CSE.lk)
• Capital Gains
This is when a share's selling price exceeds its initial purchase price. If the selling price falls beyond the purchase price, you would make a capital loss. Capital Gains are free of tax.
• Dividends
A company may decide to payout a portion of its earnings to shareholders. But companies are not required to pay dividends.
• Rights Issues
The company may extend this privilege to existing shareholders to buy shares at a specified and usually discounted price, usually in proportion to the number of shares already owned.
• Bonus issue
Shares shall be offered to the holders of existing shares in a manner which would, if the offer was accepted, maintain the relative voting and distribution rights of those shareholders.
