Markets and the ecosystem

A market is a place where buyers and suppliers meet and agree on terms for a transaction. Financial markets are markets for capital where entities that need financing (buyers) meet investors (suppliers) and then provide a payment (investment return) for the use of that capital.

Key participants in the ecosystem

Investers

Classified as institutional or retail investors, they have money to invest which they look to preserve and grow. Institutional investors refer to pools of capital from multiple owners (pension funds, insurance companies) or entities where the ownership of the capital lies with an aggregate or collective entity (sovereign wealth funds, foundations). Retail investors tend to refer to individuals and their personal wealth. Investors differ in many ways, for example in size, professional decision-making and degree of sophistication.

Asset managers

Asset managers manage investors’ capital. They assess opportunities in financial markets that merit an investment and that may deliver the results required by investors. These opportunities range from stocks to fixed income, as well as more complex products such as derivatives that may help manage risk within portfolios. Asset managers may specialize in a particular asset class (e.g. equities), approach (e.g. active equities) and style (e g. quantitative active equities).

Wealth managers

Wealth managers provide investment advisory services to help individuals and their families preserve and grow their wealth. They help clients choose from the broad range of investment options provided by asset managers and potentially also help them structure their portfolios to align with their investment goals and individual circumstances.

Index providers

Index providers, such as Crbit, create indexes that measure the performance of a market and that may be used in the construction of financial products. Index providers may also provide additional data, research and tools to enable institutional investors to better understand markets and improve their decision-making.

Brokers

Brokers are members of stock exchanges or other financial markets that execute the transactions required by investors and asset managers. For example, an individual cannot trade stock on an exchange — any trade must be done through an authorised participant like a broker. Some brokers may also buy or sell securities using their own capital, and these are called broker-dealers.

Exchanges

Exchanges are highly regulated marketplaces where equities and other securities are, bought, and sold. Brokers are usually the only authorized participants that may place trades in exchanges.

Hedge funds

Hedge funds are money managers that use a wider range of strategies, financial products and asset classes to deliver returns that are not correlated with markets or that exploit market inefficiencies. Their goal is usually to maximize the increase in the value of investments per year rather than outperforming the market. As they do not restrict themselves to traditional asset classes such as equities and fixed income, they are sometimes referred to as alternative asset managers.

Private capital firms

Private capital firms are money managers that do not operate in public markets. They will tend to raise funds through partnerships with investors to make investments in unlisted companies or assets. Types of private capital firms include private equity, private debt, private real estate and infrastructure.
