loginThe purpose of this text is to provide an overview of the equity market and its role in the financial system. We start with a brief introduction to the financial system, and then contrast the equity market with the money and debt markets. A definition of the equity market is presented and dissected into its elements. The statutory backdrop to equities and the equity market is presented in brief and the equity derivatives are merely mentioned for the sake of completeness.
