4. A capital market is a financial market in which
long-term debt (over a year) or equity-
backed securities are bought and sold, in contrast
to a money market where short-term debt is
bought and sold. Capital markets channel the
wealth of savers to those who can put it to long-
term productive use, such as companies or
governments making long-term investments.
5. A capital market can be either a primary market or
a secondary market. In a primary market, new
stock or bond issues are sold to investors, often
via a mechanism known as underwriting. The
main entities seeking to raise long-term funds on
the primary capital markets are governments
(which may be municipal, local or national) and
business enterprises (companies). Governments
issue only bonds, whereas companies often issue
both equity and bonds.
