1. Basics and overview of shareholder benefits, and reasons for recommending them

First of all, I would like to introduce the basics of shareholder benefits and their appeal in detail.

1-1. Basics of Shareholder Benefits

The shareholder benefit program is a system for regularly presenting products and services to shareholders who hold shares in a company.

There is a “dividend” system that is similar to shareholder benefits. Both are the same in terms of returns to shareholders whose names are listed on the shareholder register on the date of vesting, but their nature is significantly different.

Specifically, dividends distribute profits earned by a company to shareholders in the form of cash in accordance with the amount of investment, but shareholder benefits present benefits with limited uses, such as the company’s own products and services and discount coupons. is what you do.

By offering shareholder benefits, companies have the advantage of increasing the number of fans of their products and extending the holding period of shares. If the stock offers both shareholder benefits and dividends, you can receive both if you meet the conditions.

1-2. Requirements for receiving shareholder benefits and points to note when purchasing

Two conditions must be met to receive the shareholder benefit.

1. Acquire the required number of shares by the “last day of rights”
2. The name is listed in the shareholder register on the “date of vesting”

First of all, the date on which rights such as shareholder benefits and dividends are vested is called the “rights date”, and in order to receive shareholder benefits, your name must be on the shareholder register as of the date of rights determination.

However, it takes approximately three business days from the time the shares are purchased until the name is recorded in the shareholder register. This “three business days prior to the vesting date”, that is, the last day on which shares can be purchased to acquire the right to receive shareholder benefits, is called the “last day with rights”.

By the way, the day after the last day with rights is called the “ex-rights date”. At this point, the right to receive the shareholder benefit has already been vested, so remember that you will still receive the benefit even if you sell your shares on the ex-rights date.

1-3. Points to note when purchasing shares for the purpose of shareholder benefits

However, there are some points to be aware of when purchasing shares for preferential treatment.

First of all, since many investors buy shares on the “last day with rights” mentioned above, the stock price tends to rise and become expensive. This can be avoided by making purchases with plenty of time to spare, rather than just before or on the last day of rights.

Another point to note is that immediately after the ex-rights date, many investors who do not want to continue holding stocks sell their stocks, so stock prices tend to fall.

The way to avoid this is “tie-selling”. Bridge selling is a method of reducing the risk of a stock price decline by placing a market order to sell (short sell) in margin trading just before the last day of the vesting period for preferential stocks held in cash.

Even if the stock price falls after ex-rights as expected, the gains from buying back the margin trades can offset the loss.

However, keep in mind that there are generally fewer brands in margin trading than in spot trading, and in some cases bridge selling is not possible, and that margin trading incurs a separate fee from spot trading.

1-4. Attractiveness of Shareholder Benefits

The appeal of shareholder benefits is that they can receive products and services on a regular basis while they are aiming for gains from stock price increases. If you wash brands that give you complimentary coupons, cash coupons, food and other necessities, you can save money on a daily basis. Shareholder benefits are often upgraded depending on the number of years held, so it is also compatible with long-term investment.

However, it is not uncommon for the contents of shareholder benefits to be abolished or changed for the worse due to the impact of declining business performance and cost reductions. When selecting stocks, it is important to consider not only the details of the preferential treatment, but also business performance and market trends.
