What is Capital Market?

Capital market is considered as a market where the buyers and sellers engage in trade of financial securities like stocks, bonds, etc. The buying and selling process is undertaken by the participants, such as individuals and institutions.

The capital markets channelize all surplus funds from savers to institutions, which are then invested into productive use. Generally, the trading of this market is done for long-term securities.

The capital market consists of primary markets and secondary markets. Primary markets deal with the trade of new issues of stocks and other securities, whereas the secondary market deals with the exchange of existing or previously issued securities. Another essential division in the capital market is made based on the nature of security traded, i.e., stock market and bond market.

What is the Capital Market Services Provided by Banks?

The capital market services provided by banks are as follows:

• Lead-Manager to the Public Issue

The bank will take the responsibility of completing all the legal and regulatory formalities, including the drafting of the Prospectus for the public issue and also will manage all the affairs related to the public issue.

As a lead manager for capital market services, the bank obtains the entire requisite permission from different authorities, arranges for appropriate publicity of the issue, liaises with the stock exchanges and brokers, and prints and distributes application forms, etc.  A company can avail of all the services by paying a hefty amount of fees.

• Advisor to the Issue

On many occasions, the companies retain the banks for advising on a particular service required by them for public issues. The banks perform this job against a number of fees for the provided services.

• Banker to the Issue

To distribute share application forms to potential investors, the banks function as bankers to the public issue to the potential investors in all parts of the country for the purpose of capital market services. The share application forms are duly filled and signed by them together with the application fees in the banks' branches acting as banker to the issue.

The branches of banks collect the cheques and other instruments deposited by the investors. After closing the issue, they will remit the funds to the leading share issue account of the company. For some significant investments, several banks are appointed as bankers to the issue, and one of them is designated as the primary banker to the issue.

The application fees that are collected by the different banks are put together in the main account for a public issue that is released to the company after the completion of the regulatory formalities that includes the permission from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The bankers to the issue charge a certain amount of fee for the application handled by them.

The banks also function as brokers in some issues. They make necessary arrangements to list the share with the stock exchange and arrange for its trading in the stock exchange from a specific date. The banks earn brokerage from the designated companies and the corporate as a broker. Moreover, the banks also enjoy the benefit of a substantial amount in the relative account for the public issue.

• Dividend and Interest Paying Bank

Banks having their branches all over are the essential vehicle for payment of dividends or interest by the corporation. The companies that have borrowed funds from the public by way of accepting the fixed deposits and issuing debentures, bonds, etc., on which they are asked to pay interest within a specified time frame. The company earning profits pays dividends to its shareholders.

Sometimes the companies are not equipped enough to pay the dividend or interest to the investors directly. The beneficiaries of the dividend and interest are spread all over the country, and the companies are not efficient enough to pay the dividend or interest directly to the investors. They enter into an arrangement with the bank to issue dividends or interest warrants drawn on that bank, favouring the shareholders or other lenders investing in fixed deposits bonds, etc.

The bonds are sent to the beneficiaries by the companies with the help of their Registrars. After paying the dividend or interests, the branches send the instruments to the bank branch with whom the company had initially made the arrangement.

• Underwriting

The banks often underwrite the whole or part of the public issue by a company. Through underwriting, the bank gives assurance to the company to subscribe to the issue if the investors do not fully accept the issue. In the full absence or the investors' required subscription, the underwriting bank has to put its own application to purchase the shares before the closing of the issue.

This has also been termed as 'Development of the Issue.' For the purpose of this function, the banks underwriting the issue earn significantly in the form of underwriting commission. After the closure of the issue and listing the shares in the stock exchange, the banks can dispose of the shares at a price quoted in the stock exchange. The supply-demand position in the stock exchange determines the price in the Stock exchange. This is also known as the secondary market.
