Question

In the modern era, who are now the largest shareholders in many major companies?

• A. Individual investors
• B. Public financial institutions and mutual funds
• C. Foreign governments
• D. Employee stock ownership plans

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Public financial institutions and mutual funds

The structure of corporate ownership has shifted away from a few powerful individuals or families. Today, large companies are often owned by a wide range of investors through intermediaries like public financial institutions and mutual funds. This change in ownership makes e-governance crucial for ensuring the company is run efficiently and transparently for the benefit of all stakeholders.
