Participatory share ownership

If a share (stock in American English) is owned by several people, may one say that the share is in common participatory share ownership. How does "common participatory share ownership" sound to your ear? I know there is participatory share ownership, but is there "common participatory share ownership"?

It's probably important to get the definitions straight. I don't really know about BrE vs. AmE when it comes to stock.

I've always thought of "common" in "common stock" as being used in the same sense as "common cold" or "common nail
