EasyEquities

Private Equity Round in 2017
EasyEquities operates an online trading platform based in Johannesburg, South Africa, allowing users to invest in a variety of securities, including whole shares and fractional share rights. The platform enables investors to become registered owners of whole shares, granting them rights to dividends and participation in corporate actions. For fractional share rights, EasyEquities facilitates a contract for difference, providing investors with exposure to price movements and dividends without actual ownership of the underlying shares. While fractional share rights do not confer voting rights, investors can accumulate enough FSRs to ultimately convert them into whole shares. The availability of shares on the platform is influenced by various factors and does not imply an endorsement or contractual relationship with the listed companies. EasyEquities emphasizes that potential investors should review additional disclosures on its website to understand the risks and benefits associated with their investments.
