The Capital Markets are a set of markets and exchanges that facilitate the buying and selling of financial securities such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives. These markets are divided into two main categories: primary markets and secondary markets. Primary markets are where new securities are issued and sold to investors, while secondary markets are where existing securities are traded among investors.
The Capital Markets are composed of a variety of market participants, including investment banks, broker-dealers, institutional investors, retail investors, and other financial institutions. Investment banks are responsible for underwriting new securities and providing advice to companies on capital structure and other financial matters. Broker-dealers are responsible for executing trades on behalf of their clients. Institutional investors are large investors such as pension funds, mutual funds, and hedge funds. Retail investors are individual investors who buy and sell securities on their own.
Some of the companies in the Capital Markets include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, BlackRock, Vanguard, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab. Show Less Read more
