Primary - Market & IPO Version 2
Primary Market
● 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.
● The primary market is where companies issue a new security, not previously traded on any exchange. A company
offers securities to the general public to raise funds to finance its long-term goals. The primary market may also
be called the New Issue Market (NIM). In the primary market, securities are directly issued by companies to
investors. Securities are issued either by an Initial Public Offer (IPO) or a Further Public Offer (FPO).
2. Rights Issue
When a company wants to raise more capital from existing shareholders, it may offer the shareholders more shares
at a price discounted from the prevailing market price. The number of shares offered is on a pro-rata basis. This
process is known as a Rights Issue.
3. Preferential Allotment
When a listed company issues shares to a few individuals at a price that may or may not be related to the market
price, it is termed a preferential allotment. The company decides the basis of allotment and it is not dependent on
any mechanism such as pro-rata or anything else.
IPO
An initial public offering (IPO) is the process through which a company raises funds from investors and
becomes a publicly listed firm. The firm can raise capital and investors can invest in a company for the first
time through an IPO.An FPO, on the other hand, is a method by which already publicly traded corporations
issue new shares in the company. FPOs are used by businesses to generate funding from the general population.
● The process of issuing shares of a private firm to the public in a fresh stock issuance is known as an initial
public offering (IPO).
● To hold an IPO, companies must fulfil the standards of exchanges and the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
● Initial public offerings (IPOs) allow firms to raise funds by selling shares on the primary market.
● Investment banks are hired by companies to market, evaluate demand, determine the IPO price
and date, and other tasks.
● An initial public offering (IPO) can be viewed as a way for the company's founders and early
investors to profit fully from their private investment.

value is entirely determined by the company's shareholders' equity per share valuation.
