    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
