players in an equity capital market, which
exists to generate equity capital for the
companies. Although the majority of equity
capital markets deal exclusively with stock,
many markets involve derivatives such as
swaps, options, and futures.
4. Companies enter equity capital markets for
initial public offerings, private placements,
overall marketing, special warrants, and the
distribution and allocation of new issues.
Equity capital markets typically depend on
companies’ projections regarding their future

firms often play a central role in equity capital
market transactions, helping companies with
processes such as syndication, structuring,
and distribution.
