Types of capital markets
The capital market is a financial market where long-term debt (maturity of 12 months or longer) or interest-bearing securities are bought and sold. The capital market is where it connects people with idle money (investors) with enterprises or governments that need to mobilize capital.
The capital market includes:
- Primary market: Where enterprises or governments mobilize capital for the first time through the issuance of stocks, bonds, or other securities to investors.
- Secondary market: Where investors trade stocks, bonds, or other securities that have already been issued in the primary market.
In addition, based on the type of financial assets traded, the capital market includes:
- Securities market: Where transactions of stocks, bonds, fund certificates, and other types of securities are made.
- Derivatives market: Where transactions of derivative contracts based on the value of underlying assets such as stocks, bonds, market indices, etc., occur.
- Money market: Where transactions of short-term monetary instruments such as Government bonds, short-term commercial paper, etc., are conducted.

- Shares of joint-stock companies.

Fundraising advice in Vietnam
Accessing capital to finance and expand business activities is critical to achieving both the short-term and long-term goals of a business. In addition to traditional bank loans, capital can be raised through the following transactions:
- Initial Public Offering (IPO)
- Securitization and structured financial agreements
- Private placement – equity or debt
These transactions can be highly complex and require careful planning, with particular attention to the needs and concerns of stakeholders, both internal and external.
Therefore, due diligence and proper preparation – both in deal structure and accounting implications – are crucial for success. Strategic and timely communication with stakeholders is equally important.
