The company I work for is private but offers its employees the option to buy shares every year. The total amount of shares employees can buy is equal to 15% of the company. The remaining 85% is equally split between 3 families. There is only one time a year where employees have the option to buy or sell the shares.
Shares were first offered in 2002 and have returned on average 24% per year, even staying above 16% during the recession. The company is in the food industry, hence the reasonably stable returns. However, shares returned 11.5 percent this year.
Is there anything I should be aware of before buying these shares?
