The equity capital market (ECM) is the financial domain where financial institutions facilitate the raising of equity capital by companies and where the trading of stocks occurs. The ECM encompasses both the primary market, involving activities like private placements, initial public offerings (IPOs), and warrants, and the secondary market, where existing shares are bought and sold, along with the trading of futures, options, and other listed securities. This market segment plays a pivotal role in enabling companies to access investment capital and providing investors with opportunities to buy, sell, and trade equities.
