Share Market Investing In Australian Public Companies

Purchasing shares gives you part ownership in a company and the opportunity to benefit from its growth through the payment of dividends and increase in share price.

Can I invest in shares directly?

Yes you can and investing on your own means you have full control over your investment choices. However, to manage your share investments properly, you need to keep up-to-date with market movements, takeovers and companies entering new markets, management changes, release of semi annual and annual financials, just to name a few. This can be very time consuming and requires a high-level of financial expertise. In addition, direct share investment may also require you to have access to large sums of money.
