capital markets
Stock and bonds
Capital markets are financial markets where long-term securities like stocks and bonds are bought and sold.
Unlike money markets, which handle short-term debt, capital markets deal in instruments with maturities over a year—or no maturity at all, as with equities.
Companies and governments raise funds here; investors seek returns.
The IPO gave the company access to capital markets for the first time.
