Alternative ways to invest in Olin

Via a fund

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Olin), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Olin is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

Olin's shares were split on a 1575:1000 basis on 8 February 1999. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1575 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Olin shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 36.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Olin shares which in turn could have impacted Olin's share price.
It's as easy to sell Olin as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Olin shares that you already own.
