11. The primary market is where securities are created, while the secondary market is where
those securities are traded by investors. In the primary market, companies sell new stocks and
bonds to the public for the first time, such as with an initial public offering (IPO)
12. The key function of the primary market is to facilitate capital growth by enabling
individuals to convert savings into investments. It facilitates companies to issue new stocks to
raise money directly from households for business expansion or to meet financial obligations
13. Main features of the primary market (type of Capital Market) are as follow: (1) It is
related with New Issues: The first important feature of the primary market is that it is related
with the new issues. Whenever a company issues new shares or debentures, it is known as Initial
Public Offer (IPO).
14. Public Issue - a stock exchange lists the securities and the corporation raises funds
through Initial Public Offering (IPO).
15. Rights Issue - existing shareholders are offered more shares at a discounted price and on
a pro-rata basis.
16. Preferential Allotment - a corporate issues shares at a price which may or may not be
related to the current market price of the same securities
17. PO's are not the only way new shares are issued. Publicly traded companies can issue
new shares in what is called a primary issue of debt or stock, which involves the issue by a
corporation of its own debt or new stock directly to institutional investors like pension funds, or
to private investors and shareholders.
18. The secondary market is where investors buy and sell securities they already owned
shares. It is what most people typically think of as the "stock market," though stocks are also sold

unforeseen circumstances) with the capital user's preference to be able to use the capital for an
extended period of time.
21. A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents a loan made by an investor to a
borrower (typically corporate or governmental). A bond could be thought of as an I.O.U.
between the lender and borrower that includes the details of the loan and its payments.
22. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states, and sovereign governments to
finance projects and operations. Owners of bonds are debtholders, or creditors, of the issuer.
23. Bond details include the end date when the principal of the loan is due to be paid to the
bond owner and usually includes the terms for variable or fixed interest payments made by the
borrower.
24. Face value is the money amount the bond will be worth at maturity; it is also the
reference amount the bond issuer uses when calculating interest payments. For example, say an
investor purchases a bond at a premium $1,090 and another investor buys the same bond later
when it is trading at a discount for $980. When the bond matures, both investors will receive the
$1,000 face value of the bond.
25. Coupon dates are the dates on which the bond issuer will make interest payments.
Payments can be made in any interval, but the standard is semiannual payments.
