Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of a stock insurance company: A stock insurance company is a type of insurance company that is owned by shareholders who invest capital into the company in exchange for ownership shares.

Clarify the role of shareholders: Shareholders are individuals or entities that own shares in the company. They have voting rights and a claim to the company's profits, typically through dividends.

Differentiate shareholders from other stakeholders: Unlike policyholders, employees, or the board of directors, shareholders are the actual owners of the company. Policyholders purchase insurance policies, employees work for the company, and the board of directors oversees management but does not own the company.

Recognize the importance of shareholders in a stock insurance company: Shareholders provide the financial backing necessary for the company to operate and grow. Their ownership is reflected in the equity section of the company's balance sheet.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Shareholders': Based on the definition and structure of a stock insurance company, it is owned by its shareholders, not policyholders, employees, or the board of directors.
