Fairness in the issue of shares (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

equity

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This might be a double definition.

'fairness' is the first definition.
(I know that fairness can be written as Equity)

'issue of shares' is the second definition.
'equity' can be an answer for 'shares' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'issue of' bit.

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for equity that I've seen before include "Fairness or impartiality" , "The ownership interest of shareholders in a company" , "Fairness for actors' trade union" , "Fairness, impartial treatment" , "Value of a property less debt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
