The dual structure of shares was mentioned, but, let's say there's not "non voting shares".
"Can I buy shareholder voting rights separately from the actual money value of the shares?": Buying shareholder voting rights is the actual money value of the shares.
- growse 3y agoIf that were true, non-voting shares would be worthless. The value also includes a future claim on the company's assets and cash flows.
- cm2187 3y agoAlso that's kind of a dodgy silicon valley corporate structure, you don't typically find that in blue chip companies.
- dragonwriter 3y agoPreferred stock, usually with reduced or no voting rights, is very much older than Silicon Valley.
- drpossum 3y agoYes, it was qualified with "let's say non-voting shares don't exist" for a reason.
- lambertsimnel 3y agoDon't mutual funds separate voting rights from beneficial ownership? So maybe one way to gather voting rights for other people's shares would be to run a mutual fund. Shares can also be borrowed (for a fee) for the purpose of short selling, but maybe they could also be borrowed for their voting rights.
