INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
The
importance of a capital market as a catalyst to economic growth and development
through its ability to mobilize surplus funds for investment purpose has long
been realized. It is not surprising, therefore that countries all over the
world strive to build a solid market with a variety of financial instrument and
dynamic institutions capable of enhancing the “national wealth”.
A capital
market exists to assist in the transfer of funds the excess units savers of the
“deficit” units investment decision marker. Various types of institutions
traditionally play one role or another
in the process of transfer of funds. These include the stock exchange, issuing
houses, stock brokers, share registrars, share distribution agent (e.g.
merchant banks, issue companies, pension funds etc.) the Nigeria enterprises.
Promotion bounds and the Nigeria security and exchange commission. Although all of these institutions perform
one function or over in the transfer process, they are not located in one
place. the capital market may therefore be defined as! The complex of
institutions and mechanizing through which intermediate term funds are pooled
and made available to business, government and individual instruments already
outstanding are transferred (Dougall/Guramnitz 1975).
As distinct
from the many market, the money market provides intermediate and long-term
funds for individuals, business organizations, government (federal and state)
most capital markets are well regulated and facilitators are so vital that
efficiently and effectively. Referred to as market operations are issuing
houses stock brokers, registrar’s investment advisers.
Financial
intermediaries particularly banks and units trust also aid the movement of
funds on the market.
Regulation
is vital for the orderly functioning of any market. Lack of regulation could
lead to general disorder, confusion, Loss of financial wealth and confidence,
which will in turn have for reaching implication in the overall economy. It is
for this among other reasons that regulatory agencies are setup to over see the
market. The two regulatory bodies in Nigeria are the securities exchange
commission (SEC) and the Nigeria stock exchange (NSE) it is important to
distinguish the two at this point. While the security exchange commission
(SEC) is a statutory body at the apex of
the capital market, the Nigeria stock exchange (NSE) is a self-regulatory
organization (SRO) under the supervision of the security exchange commission
but with delegated power is to ensure smooth operation of the market. The
exchange provides facilities for trained in secondary securities thus creating
liquidity and ensuring easy transfer of securities in the market it also makes
rules and regulations to guide the professional conduct of its member.
