Retail Shareholders on the Receiving End 

Iran’s stock market is among the worst in the world when it comes to upholding the rights of retail investors, the general secretary of the Iranian Institutional Investors Association (IIIA) said. 
Speaking at a meeting with the Securities and Exchange Broker Association, Saeed Eslami Bidgoli said institutions that govern the stock market “must protect the rights” of all beneficiaries, including retail shareholders. 
“Iran’s stock market ranks among the lowest world in terms of observing the rights of retail investors,” he was quoted as saying by ISNA.
