Cevap

First Market matches trading of listed securities on organized exchanges; Second Market matches OTC trading of unlisted securities; Third Market matches OTC trading of listed securities; Fourth Market matches direct institutional ECN trading without broker-dealers.
Each secondary market venue tier is defined by listing status and execution mechanism: the First Market encompasses listed securities on exchange floors; the Second Market covers unlisted securities traded OTC; the Third Market involves listed securities traded OTC; and the Fourth Market consists of direct institution-to-institution trading using ECNs without broker-dealers.
