Focussing primarily on 'mainstream' capital markets, and framing them as an ecosystem in which the market players and regulators must co-exist, the Handbook delves into a range of issues including investment products such as equity finance; sustainable finance; fintech; impact investing; private equity. It also provides analysis on institutional and procedural issues such as large and small companies' capital formation, the roles of institutional shareholders and information providers, and the practices and regulation of financial trading markets.
