The Stock Market is one of the leading markets at the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange.
A share is a security that marks a portion of ownership in a corporation as well as it represents a share of the company's capital. Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the number of outstanding shares.
Owning stock also confers the right to vote in the company's general assembly of shareholders, which vets major decisions made by management.
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange is the home turf on which corporate Israel raises capital to finance investments and activities.
In addition to shares, many other instruments are traded on the TASE, such as bonds, warrants, derivatives, index-linked notes, options and futures.
