A direct equity investment is one in which an investor receives shares of a company directly from the stock market. A share is an indivisible unit of capital that demonstrates an investor's connection to the company's ownership in exchange for voting rights. Everyone can participate in the stock market. You can check the price of an equity stock at any moment. For example, if you invest in a profitable company, the stock price can rise. As a result, you will earn from your direct equity investment as well.
