Shareholder's substitute (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

proxy

'shareholder's substitute' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for proxy that I've seen before include "Agent (for eg voting)" , "Person voting on behalf of another" , "One voting on behalf of another" , "Person authorised to act on behalf of another" , "Authorised agent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
