Secondary market refers to a financial market where previously issued (from Initial public offering) securities are bought and sold among investors, rather than directly from the issuing company or entity. It is also known as the aftermarket or the stock market. In the context of investments, the secondary market contrasts with the primary market, where securities are initially issued and sold to investors.
Key features of the secondary market include:
Trading of Existing Securities:
In the secondary market, investors buy and sell existing financial instruments, such as stocks, bonds, and derivatives, among themselves. The transactions do not involve the issuing company or the original issuer.
Liquidity:
The secondary market provides liquidity to investors by offering a platform to buy or sell securities quickly. This liquidity is essential for investors who may need to convert their investments into cash.
Exchanges and Over-the-Counter (OTC) Markets
Secondary market trading can occur on organized exchanges (e.g., the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ) or over-the-counter (OTC) platforms, where trading is decentralized.
Price Determination:
Prices in the secondary market are determined by supply and demand dynamics. Factors such as market sentiment, company performance, economic conditions, and geopolitical events can influence prices.
Investor Profits and Losses:
Unlike the primary market, where funds go to the issuing company, profits and losses in the secondary market go to the investors buying and selling the securities.
Regulation: Secondary markets are typically subject to regulatory oversight to ensure fair and transparent trading practices. Regulatory bodies may establish rules to prevent market manipulation and protect investors.
Examples of securities traded in the secondary market include:
Stocks: Shares of publicly listed companies.
Bonds: Debt securities issued by governments, municipalities, or corporations.
Debentures: Debentures are issued by multinational companies, corporations who promised prepaid interest rate for buyers.
Derivatives Securities: Financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset, such as options and futures.
