Secondary market

Secondary market

A secondary market is the market where securities already issued are bought and sold between investors.

What is a secondary market?

A secondary market (Swedish: andrahandsmarknad) is where securities that have already been issued change hands. The company receives no new money in these trades, unlike on the primary market, where new shares are issued in a share issue.

 

The secondary market for unlisted shares

For unlisted shares, trading usually takes place directly between buyer and seller. Each transfer of shares must then be entered in the share ledger, so that it is always clear who owns the shares after the transaction.
