What is Share Market?

The share market is a platform where buyers and sellers come together to trade on publicly listed shares during specific hours of the day. People often use the terms ‘share market’ and ‘stock market’ interchangeably. However, the key difference between the two lies in the fact that while the former is used to trade only shares, the latter allows you to trade various financial securities such as bonds, derivatives, forex etc.

The principal stock exchanges in India are the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Types of Share/Stock Market

In India, the stock market is divided into two main types:

  • Primary Share Markets

    Primary market lets the company offer new shares to the public via Initial Public Offerings (IPO), perhaps helping a business to raise funds directly from investors.

  • Secondary Market

    Secondary market lets the investors trade on the existing shares of a company with each other. Trades get executed on exchanges like the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).

In addition to this, there is over-the-counter (OTC) market. Trade typically takes place between the parties without any exchange boards, usually for smaller or less frequently traded shares. This market is not a centralized market like the Stock Exchange.

Both the markets are operated and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Why invest in Equity/
Share
Market?

In today’s world, people believe in making money, using money. There are various methods of doing it. One such way is investing in the stock market. It is a smart way to grow your money as stocks can potentially give you higher returns. While there are other ways to grow your money, it offers a constant and low interest. When you buy stocks, you get a small ownership share in a company. If the company does well, the value of your shares can go up, and you might also receive dividends, which are extra payments given to stockholders.

Learning how to invest in the stock market can help you build wealth and reduce the risk of losing money. Overall, the stock market is a powerful platform to achieve one’s financial goals
