Financial markets, from the name itself, are a marketplace where the trading of securities
occurs, including the stock market, bond market, forex market, and derivatives market, among
others. Often, they are called as “capital market”. The markets make it easy for buyers and
sellers to trade their financial holdings. These markets create securities products that provide a
return for those who have excess funds (Investors/lenders) and make these funds available to
those who need additional money (borrowers).
Dairy Corporation can choose on a variety of financial markets wherein they can obtain funds for
their expansion. But in their case, they decided to approach capital market in order to fund
capital needs through selling of its own share securities to obtain fund providers in particular
with shareholders.
Capital Market is a place where buyers and sellers can interact and transact financial
securities like shares, debentures, debt instruments, bonds, derivative instruments like the
futures, options, and swaps. The securities referred to here would normally mean long-term
investments that have a lock-in period greater than one year. There are two types of Capital
Market, namely.

is also known as the new issues market. This market enables both initial public offering and a
further public offering. In this market, the funds will be deployed with the help of offering
through a prospectus, preferential issue, rights issue, e-IPO, and private placement of securities.
2. Secondary Market
It is a type of capital market where old securities are traded, trading is done after transacting
first in the primary market. We also call this market as the stock market or aftermarket. Both
stock markets and over-the-counter trades come under the secondary market.
