Secondary Market
The secondary market, also known as the aftermarket,
is the financial market where previously issued securities and
financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, options, and
futures are bought and sold.
Function
Secondary marketing is vital to an efficient and modern capital
market
In the secondary market, securities are sold by and transferred
from one investor or speculator to another. It is therefore
important that the secondary market be highly liquid
The greater the number of investors that participate in a given
marketplace, and the greater the centralization of that
marketplace, the more liquid the market.
