Stock Market System

market
Primary Market
• The primary market provides the channel for sale of new

securities. Primary market provides opportunity to issuers of
securities; Government as well as corporate to raise resources
to meet their requirements of investment and/or discharge
some obligation.
• They may issue the securities at face value, or at a
discount/premium and these securities may take a variety of
forms such as equity, debt etc. They may issue the securities
in domestic market and/or international market
Why Companies need to issue shares to
Public
• Most companies are usually started privately by their

promoter(s). However, the promoters’ capital and the
borrowings from banks and financial institutions may not be
sufficient for setting up or running the business over a long
term. So companies invite the public to contribute towards
the equity and issue shares to individual investors.
• The way to invite share capital from the public is through a
‘Public Issue’. Simply stated, a public issue is an offer to the
public to subscribe to the share capital of a company. Once
this is done, the company allots shares to the applicants as
per the prescribed rules and regulations laid down by SEBI.
Secondary Market
• Secondary market refers to a market where securities are

traded after being initially offered to the public in the primary
market and/or listed on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the
trading is done in the secondary market. Secondary market
comprises of equity markets and the debt markets
• Difference between Primary and Secondary Market is
In Primary Market securities are offered to public for
subscription for the purpose of raising capital or fund
Secondary Market is an equity trading venue in which
already existing/pre-issued securities are traded among
investors.
Equity Investment
• When you buy a share of a company you become a shareholder in

that company. Shares are also known as Equities. Equities have the
potential to increase in value over time. It also provides your
portfolio with the growth necessary to reach your long term
investment goals. Research studies have proved that the equities
have outperformed most other forms of investments in the long
term.
• Equities are considered the most challenging and the rewarding,
when compared to other investment options.
• Research studies have proved that investments in some shares with
a longer tenure of investment have yielded far superior returns
than any other investment.
• However, this does not mean all equity investments would
guarantee similar high returns. Equities are high risk investments.
One needs to study them carefully before investing
Types of investors
• Speculators
• Hedgers
• Arbitragers
