Definition of New issue
Let's assume that Company ABC makes a public offering of shares in order to finance
its business expansion. Company ABC, the issuer of the stock, must file a prospectus
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) summarizing the stock offering,
associated risk and financial information of the company. Because Company ABC has
never issued stock before, the offering is a new issue.
Initial public offerings are the most common new issues. However, companies,
governments or other entities also can make new issues of bonds, notes, commercial
paper or preferred stock.
Issuers are legally responsible for the securities they issue. To fulfill their legal
obligations to investors, they must follow strict reporting standards as set by the SEC,
including quarterly reporting of financial performance and conditions, material
developments and all operational activities required by regulations in the jurisdictions
of the security.
Debt Issue
A debt issue refers to a financial obligation that allows the issuer to raise funds
by promising to repay the lender at a certain point in the future and in
accordance with the terms of the contract. A debt issue is a fixed corporate or
government obligation such as a bond or debenture. Debt issues also include
notes, certificates, mortgages, leases, or other agreements between the issuer
or borrower, and the lender.
A debt issue involves the offering of new bonds or other debt instruments by a
creditor in order to borrow capital.
Debt issues are generally in the form of fixed corporate or government
obligations such as bonds or debentures.
In a debt issue, the seller promises the investor regular interest payments along
the with eventual repayment of the invested principal on a predetermined date.
Corporate issue debt for capital projects, while governments do so to fund
social programs and infrastructure projects.
Credit risk. The issuer may fail to timely make interest or principal
payments and thus default on its bonds.
Interest rate risk. Interest rate changes can affect a bond’s value. If bonds
are held to maturity the investor will receive the face value, plus interest. If
sold before maturity, the bond may be worth more or less than the face
value. Rising interest rates will make newly issued bonds more appealing
to investors because the newer bonds will have a higher rate of interest
than older ones. To sell an older bond with a lower interest rate, you might
have to sell it at a discount.
Call risk. The possibility that a bond issuer retires a bond before its
maturity date, something an issuer might do if interest rates decline, much
like a homeowner might refinance a mortgage to benefit from lower
interest rates.
LTNCD, or Long-Term Negotiable Certificate of Deposit
Negotiable: can be sold in the secondary market, even before maturity date.
Certificate of Deposit: like a Certificate of Deposit (CD), LTNCDs also earn interest,
and is a debt instrument.
Higher yield/Low risk. Rates on an LTNCD are higher than short term deposits. The
yield on the LTNCD is assured if you hold onto it until maturity. As a bank product,
LTNCDs are covered by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation on a maximum
insurance coverage of up to P500,000 per depositor.
Tax-exempted. Individuals who purchased the LTNCD from the primary market will
be tax-exempt, provided that they hold the LTNCD for at least 5 years.
Negotiable. It can be sold to the secondary market even before reaching maturity at
the current market price.
Primary market is a place where securities are issued by the company for the
first time to general public for raising funds in order to fulfil the long term
capital requirement.
Primary Market is a form of the capital market wherein new securities are sold
by the companies for the very first time to the investors, to raise funds and that
is why it is also acknowledged as New Issues Market (NIM).
The primary market is the financial market where new securities are issued
and become available for trading by individuals and institutions. The trading
activities of the capital markets are separated into the primary market and
secondary market.
Primary market is also known as new issue market. As in this market
securities are sold for the first time, i.e., new securities are issued from the
company. Primary capital market directly contributes in capital formation
because in primary market company goes directly to investors and utilizes
these funds for investment in buildings, plants, machinery etc.
There are several types of issue of securities in the primary market which are
discussed as under:
Public Issue: Public issue is when a company enters the market, to raise money from
all kinds of investors. The securities offered for sale to the new investors, so as to
become a shareholder in the issuer company, is called Public Issue.
Initial Public Offer: Initial Public Offer or IPO, as the name suggests, is the fresh
issue of equity shares or convertible securities, or exiting shares or convertible
securities by an unlisted company for the very first time i.e. the shares are not
previously traded or offered for sale to the general public. This is often followed by
listing and trading of the company’s securities on the stock exchange.
Further Public Offer: Otherwise called as Follow on offer or FPO, refers to the fresh
issue of securities to the general public made by a company already listed on the stock
exchange, so as to raise additional funds.
Right Issue: Right Issue is an offer to the company’s existing shareholders to buy
further new shares of the company at a discount, as a part of the dividend of pre-
emption rights. It helps the firms to raise additional funds, without going to the public.
It invites its existing shareholders to subscribe for its fresh issue in the proportion of
their shareholdings on the record date in the concern.
Bonus Issue: When a company issues fully paid additional shares to the company’s
existing shareholders for free. The issue is made from the company’s free reserves or
securities premium account, in a specific proportion to the shareholding on a specific
record date.
Private Placement: When a company’s stocks or bonds are sold directly to a selected
group of people, say 50 to 200 people, called as private investors or institutions,
instead of offering the same to the general public is called private placement. Hence,
in case of a private placement there are only a handful of subscribers to the
company’s shares. However, it is capable of raising money, more quickly as
compared to offering shares for sale in the open market.
Preferential Allotment: Preferential Issue is one in which the specified securities are
allotted by a listed company to a selected group on a preferential basis. The issuing
company needs to adhere to the provisions relating to pricing, lock-in period,
disclosures, and so on.
In a nutshell, Primary Market is a market where new long term securities are created
and issued to the public for sale through IPO that helps the company, public sector
institutions and governments to raise funds. These funds are injected by the company
in new projects and also to expand or upgrade the existing projects.
The main functions of a new issue market can be divided into a triple service
functions:
Companies can raise capital at relatively low cost, and the securities so issued
in the primary market provide high liquidity as the same can be sold in the
secondary market almost immediately.
The primary market is an important source for mobilisation of savings in an
economy. Funds are mobilised from commoners for investing in other
channels. It leads to monetary resources being put into investment options.
Chances of price manipulation in the primary market are considerably less
when compared to the secondary market. Such manipulation usually occurs by
deflating or inflating a security price, thereby deliberately interfering with fair
and free operations of the market.
The primary market acts as a potential avenue for diversification to cut down
on risk. It enables an investor to allocate his/her investment across different
categories involving multiple financial instruments and industries.
It is not subject to any market fluctuations. The prices of stocks are determined
before an initial public offering, and investors know the actual amount they
will have to invest.
1. Corporations
5. Insurance Companies
Part of the institutional investment community and controlled almost the same
amount of funds as investment firms. These organizations, which include
property and casualty insurers and life insurance companies, take
in premiums to protect policyholders from various types of risk. The
premiums are then invested by the insurance companies to provide a source of
future claims and a profit.
Most often life insurance companies invest in portfolios of bonds and other
lower risk fixed-income securities. Property casualty insurers tend to have a
heavier allocation to equities.
What is secondary market?
In the secondary market, fund managers or any investors who wish to purchase
securities or debts will have to locate a seller. Transactions are facilitated through a
central marketplace, including a stock exchange or Over The Counter (OTC).
Stock exchange- are centralised platforms where securities trading take place,
sans any contact between the buyer and the seller. Transactions in stock
exchanges are subjected to stringent regulations in securities trading. A stock
exchange itself acts as a guarantor, and the counterparty risk is almost non-
existent. Such a safety net is obtained via a higher transaction cost being
levied on investments in the form of commission and exchange fees.
2. Commercial Bank
Banks trade shares, securities, and debentures, and they provide advisory
services for customers that want to buy or sell these investments. In property
administration, commercial banks act as trustees and executors of the estate on
behalf of their customers. Banks charge a nominal fee for the agency functions
performed on behalf of their clients.
3. Investment Banks
While investment banks facilitate the issuance of bonds and shares in the
primary market, they expedite the sales and trading of issued debts and
equities between buyers and sellers in the secondary market. Investment banks
provide equity research coverage on each stock’s upside potential, downside
risk, and rationale to help buyers and sellers make a judgment. Moreover,
investment banks sell and trade securities on behalf of the clients to maximize
their profits.

primary market as an initial public offering (IPO), and the sale price of such new issue

business targets or increase its physical presence among others. Primary market
example of securities issued includes notes, bills, government bonds or corporate
bonds as well as stocks of companies.
A secondary market is a platform wherein the shares of companies are traded among
investors. It means that investors can freely buy and sell shares without the
intervention of the issuing company. In these transactions among investors, the
issuing company does not participate in income generation, and share valuation is
rather based on its performance in the market. Income in this market is thus generated
via the sale of the shares from one investor to another.
Some of the entities that are functional in a secondary market include: retail investors,
Advisory service providers and brokers comprising commission brokers and security
dealers, among others, financial intermediaries including non-banking financial
companies, insurance companies, banks and mutual funds.
As for the platform provided by a secondary market, it facilitates stock trading and
also enables converting securities into cash. Continuous trading in a secondary market
also increases the liquidity of traded assets. Investors are thus encouraged to
undertake investments in financial instruments available in secondary markets for
substantial corpus creation. It is ideal to take the assistance of fund managers to make
the most of investment in a volatile market scenario.
