BACKGROUND:
Capital Markets are markets for buying and selling equity and debt instruments. Capital markets channel savings and investment between suppliers of capital such as retail investors and institutional investors, and users of capital like businesses, government and individuals.

Capital markets include primary markets, where new stock and bond issues are sold to investors, and secondary markets, which trade existing securities.

Global Capital Markets handles the origination, structuring and underwriting of primary equities, investment-grade and high-yield bonds and syndicated loans. It has three areas:
