Buying a share means that you are buying a part of the company. This also gives you the right to go to the Annual General Meeting to ask questions of management, vote on resolutions and generally make a noise if you are not happy with the company\u2019s performance.

At the ASA I\u2019ve met some great people with a wealth of knowledge. The members are deeply engaged. They take the time to explore every nook and cranny of a company\u2019s operation. They have meetings, discussion groups, seminars and workshops where you can meet and learn. They also take a leading role in holding companies to account.
