Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Buying shares
Swedish term or phrase: teckna
"Teckna aktier" in particular. I am looking for something eloquent and used in the field. "Signing onto shares" does not seem quite right to me.

One example from my text in particular:
"Teckning kan endast ske av det hela antal aktier, vartill det sammanlagda antalet teckningsoptioner berättigar och som en och samma optionsinnehavare önskar utnyttja."

purchase


Explanation:
as in: "The purchase of shares..."
In another context, it would be possible to say "buy" shares.

Of course, to subscribe for the shares is not incorrect, but I don' t think that is what you are looking for.

P.S. "teckningsoptioner" aren't "subscription options" but rather warrants, or simply options.
