ProShare

An independent not-for-profit company set up in 1992 with funding from the government, the London Stock Exchange and a number of other companies to encourage wider share ownership, including employee share ownership, for private individuals and employees. ProShare seeks to make share investing more accessible to everyone and to promote the advantages of share ownership as an integral part of long-term savings and investment. It was acquired by the Institute of Financial Services, a provider of financial education, in 2005.
