Prepared By

2/23

INTRODUCTION

A capital market is a market for securities (debt or equity), where

business enterprises (companies) and governments can raise

long-term funds. It is defined as a market in which money is

provided for periods longer than a year, as the raising of short-

term funds takes place on other markets (e.g., the money market).

The capital market includes the stock market (equity securities)

and the bond market (debt). Financial regulators, such as the UK's

Financial Services Authority (FSA) or the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission (SEC), oversee the capital markets in their

designated jurisdictions to ensure that investors are protected

against fraud, among other duties.

STOCK MARKET

PRIMARY MARKET

Primary market refers to the set up which helps the industryto raise funds by issuing different type of securities .Since

1991/92, the primary market has grown fast as a result ofthe removal of investment restrictions in the overall economyand a repeal of the restrictions imposed by the CapitalIssues Control Act. In1991/92, Rs62.15 billion was raised inthe primary market. This figure rose to Rs276.21 billion in

1994/95. Since 1995/1996, however, smaller amountshave been raised due to the overall downtrend in the marketand tighter entry barriers introduced by SEBI for investorprotection (Table 1).

in reduction in number of outstanding shares through distribution of accumulated

profits.

BUY BACK can be carried out in two ways:-

1. Shareholders may be presented with a tender offer whereby they have the option

to submit (or tender) a portion or all of their shares within a certain time frame and

at a premium to the current market price. This premium compensates investors for

tendering their shares rather than holding on to them.

2. Companies buy back shares on the open market over an extended period of

time.
