Interaction Between Shareholders Or Partners And Their Influence On Business
Is it a condition for the validity of an investment that the partners or shareholders interact or exert influence on the business?
It is not a condition for the validity of an investment (e.g. stocks, mutual funds, business partnerships) that partners or shareholders of the business physically interact with one another or even meet with each other a single time, or that they exert any form of direct or indirect influence on the running of the business; it would be permissible for none of the shareholders to ever meet or even to know one another, provided the managing partners of the business maintained a level of interaction, though not necessarily physical, customary for the success of the business.
