Explanation:
The securities exchange has both primary markets and secondary markets. The primary market deals with new shares or securities that corporations offer to investors. Once the securities have been issued, they become available for trading at the secondary market.
If a corporation wishes to raise additional funds, it issues new shares to investors. It contracts an investment banker who assists in planning, organizing, and facilitating the entire process. Since the corporation is offering new shares, they are issued in the primary market.
