The stock market refers to public markets that exist for issuing, buying, and selling stocks that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter. Though it is called a stock market or equity market and is primarily known for trading stocks/equities, other financial securities – like exchange traded funds (ETF), corporate bonds and derivatives based on stocks, commodities, currencies, and bonds – are also traded in the stock markets.

Stocks, also known as equities, represent fractional ownership in a company, and the stock market is a place where investors can buy and sell ownership of such investible assets. An efficiently functioning stock market is considered critical to economic development, as it gives companies the ability to quickly access capital from the public. The stock market serves two important purposes:

  • To provide capital to companies that they can use to fund and expand their businesses.
  • To give investors the opportunity to share in the profits of publicly-traded companies.
