The document discusses equity markets, stock exchanges, and money markets. It provides details on:
1) What equity markets and stock exchanges are, including that they allow for public trading of company stock.
2) The main participants in equity markets, including individual and institutional investors such as mutual funds and corporations.
3) Key money market instruments like treasury bills, certificates of deposit, and repurchase agreements that facilitate short-term borrowing and lending.

2. A Equity market or Stock market is a public
entity for the trading of company stock (shares)
and derivatives at an agreed price; these
are securities listed on a stock exchange.
The stocks are listed and traded on stock
exchanges which are entities of a
corporation specialized in the business of
bringing buyers and sellers of the organizations
to a listing of stocks and securities together.
3. Market participants include individual retail
investors, institutional investors such as mutual
funds, banks, insurance companies and hedge
funds, and also publicly traded corporations
trading in their own shares.
Some studies have suggested that institutional
investors and corporations trading in their own
shares generally receive higher risk-adjusted
returns than retail investors.
A few decades ago, worldwide, buyers and
sellers were individual investors, such as wealthy
businessmen, usually with long family histories
to particular corporations.
4. CONTINUED:
The rise of the institutional investor has
brought with it some improvements in
market operations.
Over time, markets have become more
"institutionalized"; buyers and sellers are
largely institutions (e.g., pension
funds, insurance companies, mutual
funds, index funds, exchange-traded
funds, hedge funds, investor groups, banks
and various other financial institutions).
5. There has been a gradual tendency for "fixed" (and
exorbitant) fees being reduced for all investors, partly
from falling administration costs but also assisted by
large institutions challenging brokers' oligopolistic
approach to setting standardised fees.

Exchange (NSE), Bombay Stock Exchange.

mood of the economy.

16. Call Market in India
• The interest rate paid on call money loans, known as the
call rate, is highly volatile.
• It is the most sensitive section of the money market and the
changes in the demand for and supply of call loans are
promptly reflected in call rates. There are now two call rates
in India: the Inter bank call rate and the lending rate of
DFHI.
•The ceilings on the call rate and inter-bank term money rate
were dropped, with effect from May 1, 1989.
• The Indian call money market has been transformed into a
pure inter-bank market during 2006–07. The major call
money markets are in Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai.
17. Call markets are helpful in illiquid markets or
markets where there are few buyers, sellers,
and shares to trade.
As such, the buyers and sellers in a call market do
not have the final say on what the final price is in
their trades.
This differs from an auction market, whereby the
final price is more directly determined
by market forces.
