Savers”, or “Surplus Unit”) to those who have them (i.e., “Borrower-Spenders”, or “Deficit Unit”)
Funds transferred directly from Ultimate Savers to
Ultimate Borrowers is called Direct Financing.

with one set of characteristics into financial claims with
other characteristics e.g. deposits are used to make
loans.

Methods of Raising Capital from the Primary Market
The issuing company directly offers to the general
public/institutions a fixed number of securities at a
stated price or price band through a document called
prospectus.
This is the most common method followed by
companies to raise capital through issue of the
securities.
It consists in outright sale of securities through the
intermediary of issue houses or share brokers. First
Stage is a direct sale by the issuing company to the
issue house and brokers at an agreed price and in
the second stage is when intermediaries resell the
above securities to the ultimate investors.
The issue houses purchase the securities at a
negotiated price and resell at a higher price. The
difference in the purchase and sale price is called
turn or spread.
It involves sale of securities to a limited number of sophisticated
investors such as financial institutions, mutual funds, venture
capital funds, banks, and so on.
It refers to sale of equity or equity related instruments of an
unlisted company or sale of debentures of a listed or unlisted
company.
When a listed company proposes to issue securities to its existing
shareholders, whose names appear in the register of members on
record date, in the proportion to their existing holding, through an
offer document, such issues are called ‘Right Issue’.
This mode of raising capital is the best suited when the dilution of
controlling interest is not intended.
