Primary market
• New securities are issued in a primary market. A debt-based or equity-
based security is an asset that companies, governments, and other
organisations use to obtain financing. Investment banks set the
beginning price range for securities and oversee their sale to investors in
the primary markets.
• A strict set of regulations governs all issues on the primary market. In
order to offer securities for sale to investors, companies have to file
statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
other such agencies. Once all the stocks or bonds in the initial offering
have been sold, the primary market closes. Secondary market trading
then takes place.
Functions
• New issue offer:
• The primary market facilitates a new issue offer which has not previously been traded on any stock exchange. So it is called a new
issue market.
• However, a new issue offer is not an easy task. It involves a complete evaluation of a project’s feasibility.
• For instance, financial arrangements must include liquidity ratio, debt-equity ratio, promoters equity, and foreign exchange demand.
• Underwriting services:
• Underwriting is critical for a company which is launching a new issue offer where the underwriter must purchase all unsold shares if
the company cannot sell the requisite shares to the public.
• Many financial institutions play the role of underwriters and earn commissions. Investors fall back on underwriters to determine if
taking up the risk is worth the return. Sometimes underwriters buy the entire IPO issue and then sell it to the investors.

Definition

fresh issue of shares for being contributed by the public for
soliciting capital to meet their necessary long-term funds like
extending the current trade or buying a unique entity.
