(private) shareholder culture


Explanation:
I would say "private shareholder culture" or "shareholder culture" depending on whether your text refers to small private shareholders.

"More than three million Germans snapped up Telekom stock under strong urging from the government, which recommended it as a Blue Chip stock and promised huge upside potential that could help them in their golden years. The 1996 initial public offering is widely credited with having launched a private shareholder culture in Germany."
