THE ISSUE MECHANISM IN THE PRIMARY MARKET


1. Public Issue through Prospectus is the most common method for the issue of securities by any corporate organisation. In this method, ordinary shares are issued to the general public for subscription by issuing a prospectus. That contains the necessary information about the company. 2. Sale Offer In this method, the issuing company offers shares to the public not directly but indirectly through some intermediary like a merchant bank, or an issuing house or stockbrokers. 3. Placement In this method, a capital market intermediary, like an issuing house acquires securities from an issuing company but sells these securities to his own clients rather than the general public.
