Equity Markets Programme

---

Location: BPP Online Classroom Live

The Equity Markets provide a venue for Corporates to list their shares, raise money & also offer Investors the opportunity to trade &/or Invest in already listed Companies. The function of these Markets is price discovery which is more readily achieved by high levels of participation, ranging from professional Institutional Investors all the way down to Retail Investors.

The Valuation 'tools of the trade' vary between sectors of the Equity Markets. Understanding which to apply, where & when, is essential knowledge for anyone involved in these Markets, either as an active direct Investor or an indirect Equity Fund holder. What matters is what the Company does, not where it is listed.
