Who Uses Capital Markets?
Capital markets are made up mostly of the providers and users of funds. Providers include institutions handling retirement and pension funds, life insurance companies, charitable foundations, and other companies whose profits extend past their needs. Users of funds include those who take out loans on cars and houses, non-financial companies, and governments in need of money to finance infrastructure projects expenses.
People and corporations use capital markets to sell financial equities and debt securities. Equities are stocks, which are ownership shares in a particular corporation. Debt securities, such as bonds, are interest-bearing notes that require payback with interest.
What Kinds of Capital Markets Are There?
The markets are divided into primary markets—where new equity stock and bond issues are sold to investors—and secondary markets, which trade existing securities. Capital markets are an important part of the American economy because they function in moving money from the people who have it to those who need it the most for a useful purpose.
The capability of capital markets to perform these functions is determined by the rules and laws governing those who operate and trade in them. However, it is important to note that capital market law is not subject to securities regulation. They are not one and the same.
