Becoming a shareholder

Discover how to become a shareholder through 3 forms of share ownership.

The 3 types of shares

When you become a Schneider Electric shareholder, you become the owner of a portion of its capital.

To become a shareholder, 3 ways of holding shares are possible: "direct registered shares", "administrated registered shares" or "bearer shares". Your point of contact depends on the share ownership form that you choose.

Find out all pros and cons of each holding way.

You will be registered in Schneider Electric’s share register and UPTEVIA will maintain your securities account.​​

Practical tips

  • Anyone holding at least 1 share is entitled to participate and vote in the Annual General Meeting. All registered shareholders are directly convened to the meeting. Bearer shareholders are only convened if they hold more than 500 shares. The notice of meeting and voting material is available to everyone on the company website. 
  • To get the best brokerage fees and custody fees suited to your needs, we advise that you benchmark different financial institutions online.
