Anteils

Anteils is the genitive singular form of the German noun Anteil, which means a part, portion, or stake in something. The standard plural is Anteile, while Anteils appears in fixed grammatical contexts to express possession or relation, as in phrases like des Anteils or dem Anteil. The term is common in financial and legal writing when referring to a specific share or ownership stake.

In business and finance, Anteile denote ownership interests in companies, funds, or assets. They define the proportion of ownership and typically determine rights such as voting power, profit distribution, and proceeds on liquidation, depending on the legal form and governing documents. Anteile can be held directly as equity or indirectly through investment vehicles. In everyday usage, terms like Gesellschafteranteile (ownership interests of partners) or Aktien (stocks) describe different forms of Anteile within corporate structures.

Acquisition and transfer of Anteils generally involve obtaining a proportional claim to profits and assets. Transfers require an agreement and compliance with applicable corporate or securities law, often including registration in shareholder records and, in some jurisdictions, notarization or consent of other holders. The precise requirements depend on the entity type (for example, corporations, partnerships) and the jurisdiction’s company law.
