Investments are usually made with an investment strategy in mind.

History

In 12th-century France, the courtiers de change were concerned with managing and regulating the debts of agricultural communities on behalf of the banks. Because these men also traded with debts, they could be called the first brokers. The Italian historian Lodovico Guicciardini described how, in late 13th-century Bruges, commodity traders gathered outdoors at a market square containing an inn owned by a family called Van der Beurze, and in 1409 they became the “Brugse Beurse”, institutionalizing what had been, until then, an informal meeting. The idea quickly spread around Flanders and neighboring countries and “Beurzen” soon opened in Ghent and Rotterdam. International traders, and specially the Italian bankers, present in Bruges since the early 13th-century, took back the word in their countries to define the place for stock market exchange: first the Italians (Borsa), but soon also the French (Bourse), the Germans (börse), Russians (birža), Czechs (burza), Swedes (börs), Danes and Norwegians (børs). In most languages, the word coincides with that for money bag, dating back to the Latin bursa, from which obviously also derives the name of the Van der Beurse family.

In the middle of the 13th centuryVenetianbankers began to trade in government securities. In 1351 the Venetian government outlawed spreading rumors intended to lower the price of government funds. Bankers in PisaVeronaGenoa and Florencealso began trading in government securities during the 14th century. This was only possible because these were independent city-states not ruled by a duke but a council of influential citizens. Italian companies were also the first to issue shares. Companies in England and the Low Countries followed in the 16th century. Around this time, a joint stock company—one whose stock is owned jointly by the shareholders—emerged and became important for the colonization of what Europeans called the “New World”

There are now stock markets in virtually every developed and most developing economies, with the world’s largest markets being in the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, India, China, Canada, Germany (Frankfurt Stock Exchange), France, South Korea and the Netherlands

About Share Market of India

The Indian share market (capital market) is divided into two segments:

  • Primary market
  • Secondary market

The Primary market is that market where new securities (like shares, debentures, government bonds, CDs, CPs, etc.) are issued to the public.

Investors can subscribe to ipo of companies to buy new shares directly from the issuer of shares i.e. the company. The company receives the proceeds from the sale of these shares and uses it to fund its operations and expand its business. The Primary Market is also known as the New Issues Market.

The Secondary market consists of trading in the shares of listed companies. Once the initial sale of shares is undertaken, buying and selling shares of companies can be undertaken between the traders and investors who want to purchase the shares and those share-holders who want to sell their shares. These operations are undertaken in the Secondary Market. A newly issued IPO will be considered a primary market trade when the shares are first purchased by investors directly from the underwriting investment bank; after that any shares traded will be on the secondary market, between investors themselves.

In the primary market, share prices are set by the merchant bankers using valuation methodologies, while the share prices in the secondary market are determined by the market forces of supply and demand. The share market of India is regulated by the Securities and Exchanges Board of India (SEBI). The primary objective of SEBI is to promote healthy and orderly growth of the share market and secure investor protection. The SEBI also regulates the share transactions done by foreign investors and traders and also keeps check against malpractices in the share market.
