Markets can also be broadly classified into:
• Equity Market
• Debt Market
Debt markets are currently classified by a large institutional presence, though attempts are being made to attract retail investors. Debt markets trade in Government Securities, Treasury Bills, Corporate Bonds and other debt instruments while Equity markets deal mainly in equity shares and to a limited extent in preference shares and company debentures. Futures and Options in indices and equity shares are of a relatively recent
origin and form part of equity markets.
