The capital market (securities markets) is the market for securities, where companies and the government can raise long-term funds. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond market. Financial regulators, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Services Authority in the UK, the Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht in Germany, Financial Supervision Authority in Finland, and Securities and Exchange Board of India, oversee the markets to ensure that investors are protected against misselling. The capital markets consist of the primary market, where new issues are distributed to investors, and the secondary market, where existing securities are traded.

Both the private and the public sectors provide market makers in the capital markets.

[edit] India
