A split-share corporation is a unique entity that aims to provide both stable dividends and potential capital appreciation to its shareholders. This is achieved through the issuance of two types of shares - capital and preferred. The corporation holds common shares of other companies and distributes the profits to its shareholders in the form of dividends. However, the preferred shares offer the added benefit of receiving fixed and cumulative dividends, while the capital shares allow for participation in any changes in the underlying common shares. This structure allows for a diverse and balanced investment opportunity.
