Willis and Co, a UK base stockbroker has released a guide to shareholders perks. You can download it here. I was pretty far from imagining that there was so much of them available. I understand finally why there were always someone asking for free vouchers during the AGMs.
I ranges from the classic "bags of company's products" to some more interesting stuff
Anyway, a few of them are really noteworthy:
- British Airways plc offers a 10% discount to its shareholders.
- Eurotunnel offers a 30% discount on the price for a car fares (up to three return per year)
- Millenium Copthorne Hotels plc, offers a 15% discount for your says in the UK, France and Germany
- 25% discount up to 12 times a year at the restaurant group plc
Even if these offers seems attractive these shares are not necessarily good investment opportunities:
- BA is trading around £2.5 each right now but is still struggling with the high crude prices and Ryanair is getting ready to trigger a price war. You also need to hold more than 200 shares as of record of November each year.
- Restaurant Group plc is impacted by the reduction in spending from UK customers.
