Securities market

The securities market is a platform where financial instruments like stocks, bonds, and other securities are bought and sold. It allows companies to raise capital by selling shares to investors, who, in return, can earn profits through dividends or capital gains. The market is typically divided into primary markets, where new securities are issued, and secondary markets, where existing securities are traded among investors. It plays a crucial role in the economy by facilitating investment, providing liquidity, and enabling price discovery for various assets. Overall, it connects businesses seeking funds with investors looking for returns.
