Always with the damned comma
I come across things like this a lot in my work and would like to know everyone's opinions.
"The total investment of $500 million has been financed by majority shareholder, XYZ Global Investment."
Now, would you leave the sentence as is, with the comma in place, or remove the comma and use 'majority shareholder' as essentially a title?
The bothersome issue for me is the lack of an article before 'majority' - the inclusion of an article would make using the comma only logical.

My opinion: it's optional.
As a comma minimalist I'd omit it. (A lot of people would put a comma after 'minimalist' just there.)
