Osakesena

Osakesena is a Finnish term that translates to "shareholder" in English. It refers to an individual or entity that owns shares in a company, thereby holding a portion of that company's ownership. As a shareholder, an osakesena has certain rights and responsibilities associated with their investment. These rights typically include the right to vote on certain company matters, such as the election of the board of directors, and the right to receive dividends if the company declares them. The extent of these rights is often determined by the class of shares held.

The responsibilities of an osakesena are generally limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the company. This means that their potential financial loss is typically capped at the value of their shares. In return for their investment, shareholders benefit from any increase in the company's value and any profits it generates. The role of an osakesena is fundamental to the corporate structure, as shareholders are the ultimate owners of publicly traded and many privately held companies. Their collective decisions, often through proxy votes or board representation, guide the strategic direction of the business. The concept of osakesena is central to understanding corporate finance and governance in Finland.
