Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the definition of the Third Market.
Trading exchange-listed securities off-floor in the OTC market is the accurate definition of Third Market transactions.
The Third Market connects OTC market makers with listed equity trading.
2
Analyze broker-dealer transaction capacities.
Trading from inventory is a principal/dealer action involving mark-ups or mark-downs.
Broker (agency) capacity involves finding a counterparty and taking a commission, while dealer (principal) capacity involves proprietary inventory execution.
3
Analyze the definition of the Fourth Market.
Direct institutional trading using ECNs without broker-dealers defines Fourth Market operations.
Fourth Market trading is structured to eliminate intermediary commissions for large institutional orders.
4
Analyze primary vs. secondary market functions.
Primary markets feature issuer-to-investor transactions for raising capital.
Trading existing shares between secondary market investors takes place in the secondary market, not the primary market.
