ECM (Equity Capital Markets)

Equity Capital Markets (ECM) refers to the financial activities involved in helping companies raise money by selling shares to investors. This process includes issuing new stocks through methods like initial public offerings (IPOs) or secondary offerings. ECM professionals assist companies in determining the best way to value, price, and market their shares, ensuring they meet regulatory standards and attract investors. Essentially, ECM acts as the bridge connecting companies seeking capital with investors looking for investment opportunities in corporate shares, playing a vital role in the financial ecosystem for business growth and development.
