Hi There are a few differences between an Ordinary and a Preferential Share. 1. If a company is folding up (Bankruptcy), the Preferential Shareholder would get pay out priority over the Ordinary Shareholder 2. Preferred shares might also pay higher returns - higher dividend per share 3. The downside to Preferential shares is they don't usually have voting rights on company policy issues Finally some companies allow a conversion and would give you a convention worth from Preferential to Ordinary Shares. I hope its clear. |
