...Introduction The stock market is comprised of two distinct markets, the primary and secondary market. While both of these markets may operate on the same exchange they are distinctively different. When making distinctions between a money and capital markets the primary determinant is time. Broadly speaking capital markets are for long term assets that extend beyond one year. This is in contrast to money markets that are used for short term assets that are up to one year. Learning Materials Primary and Secondary Markets Primary market The primary market is the initial market that securities are sold on. When you hear of a firm having an initial public offering, such as Facebook, this is a transaction on the primary market. The issuing firm will receive the funds from this initial sale which is why it is referred to as the primary market. This is a common way for firms to receive substantial amounts of capital. Practically speaking the primary market is not equally available to all. Given that firms solicit help of investment bankers it becomes necessary that they take a role in selling shares. These shares are commonly first offered to preferred customers which of course leave out the average retail investor. From a corporate perspective an IPO is also not always feasible since the firm must have a solid reputation and a potential for longevity and success. Secondary market Once a stock has been purchased directly from the firm in the primary market it will continue to trade...

...Executive Summary Over the last few years, the capital market of Bangladesh has witnessed a haughty growth which is not in line of development in the real sector of the economy. Although, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Bangladesh has tried to correct the irregular behavior observed in the market, very often it is argued that lack of proper and firm decisions from the regulator’s side has contributed to make the market more unstable rather than to reduce it. The paper attempts to identify the inter relationship between the capital market and money market. The Capital Market of Bangladesh is passing tough times since December 2010 as high volatility is eroding the capital of Thousands of Investors that might turn into social instability. This fall is caused by many factors that I tried to identify and tried to link up between causal factors of market crash and regulatory failure and also tried to find out the inter-relationship between capital market and money market. Primary issue related problems was faulty listing methods and IPO overpricing, few numbers of new listings, revaluating assets before company listing, high premium in issuance of right share/Repeat IPO etc. while secondary market related problems was stock splits and stock price manipulations through block trading, circular trading and insider trading. Investor’s greed and irrational behavior played a big rule to make the stock prices sky rocking as they were crazy to buy shares without judging...

...Financial Market and Institutions Christopher Little FIN/370 June 23, 2016 Steve Garrett Financial Market and Institutions Report What comes to mind when you hear financial institutions? For most people, it is going to be a bank which is the most common type of financial institution. What about financial markets? A financial market is where buyers and sellers trade. An example of a well-known financial market is the New York Stock Exchange. This establishment trades trillions of dollars on a daily basis. Both financial markets and financial institution play a vital role within any economy. There are also primary and secondary markets as well as money markets and capital markets. We will take a look at the differences and what role they play in the economy. Let’s start with financial institutions and the example I gave earlier was a bank. A bank is the most common financial institution and is pretty straight forward. You give the bank money and they hold it for you. Then, you ask, how does a bank make money? A bank also lends out money to individuals that are looking to make a large purchase, such as a house. The bank uses the money people deposit to loan out to others and interest is paid on the loan. A bank allows consumers to take out loans for purchases, then with a set time frame, pay back the money loaned with interest. That is one reason the recession of 2008 hit so hard. The bank loaned many people money but then many of those people were...

Cash is the main purpose for opening money markets. The money market is important for ensuring companies and governments maintain the steady level of cash flow. Investors use the money markets to invest funds because money markets are safe and the amount of risk is small. The reliability of short time period gives little time for a nonpayment to happen that is why, the risk is decreased. The capital markets lend or borrow the funds for long-term period, i.e. for more than one year. The main instruments that are used in the capital market are stocks, shares, bonds, and securities of the government.
