IPO is to bring money into the Business. It is often the main way that a startup company will
be able to make the money it needs to succeed in the market.

11. 11
To preparing an IPO there are 5 steps available & they are given below:
1. Determine if company is eligible to go public: in order to qualify for an IPO,
generally the business must be proven to be profitable and have a significant amount
of assets. Since there are no set requirements to define eliginlity, consider scheduling
a meeting with an investment banker on outside consultant to determine whether your
company is of the type that the public would want to invest in.
2. Contract with an investment banker: an investment banker will help determine
how much money you should raise, at what price the shares should be sold, and what
portion of the company should be offered in the IPO. The investment banker serves as
an underwriter in that will agree to purchase all of the shares that the company
decides to offer.
3. Draft a prospect and file it with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC):
The SEC call this document “S-1” Its purpose is to disclose the details of the
company. In the initial prospectus the first document filed the firms of the IPO C the
number of shares and the price per share will likely no be finalized, but they are
included as an estimate of what the final terms will be the initial prospectus is filed
early on the IPO process. In the final prospectus, filed shortly before the IPO. The
amount of shares and share price of the offering are fixed.
Present the opportunity to potential shareholders: Before the actual IPO, the Banker and
the corporation’s top officials will give presentations to individuals and offer organizations to
entice them to purchase the shares of the IPO. The investment banker selects the potential
investors based on the type of business that wishes to go public and the interest that the
potential investor may have in the corporation. This process results in non-binding
commitments called “subscriptions”, to purchase shares. It is Longley used as a tool to
determine whatever the public will be interest in investing in the company, as discussed in the
first step, as well as to determine the price of the shares.
4. Sell the shares to the investment banker: On the day of the IPO, The investment
banker will purchase the shares and simultaneously sell them to investors. The
banker’s purchase price is the IPO price minus the commission, which usually havers
around 7 percent. The shares can now be publicly traded.

ROLE OF CAPITAL MARKET
The primary role of the capital market is to raise long-term funds for governments, banks,
and corporations while providing a platform for the trading of securities. This fund rising is
regulated by the performance of the stock and bond markets within the capital market.
Bangladesh capital market is one of the smallest in Asia but the third largest in the south Asia
region. It has two full-fledged automated stock exchanges namely - Dhaka Stock Exchange
(DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE). It also consists of a dedicated regulator, the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), since, it implements rules and regulations,
monitors their implications to operate and develop the capita market.
Nature of Dhaka Stock Exchange
There are four markets in the system

Spot Market

hours.
Block Market

Market System:
Buying a Mutual Fund Directly from a Mutual Fund Company
If we know you want to have your money invested in a specific mutual fund, you can
often open an account directly with the mutual fund itself. We have to fill out
paperwork online, mail it in with a check, and tell the company whether want to open
a regular account, or a special account such as a retirement Roth IRA or Traditional
IRA. We can even set it up so that the mutual fund automatically makes investments
for by regularly withdrawing money from our checking or savings account each
month! This technique, called dollar cost averaging, is a fantastic way to smooth out
the average price you pay for our mutual fund shares and helps lower the risk that put

13. 13
all your money in the market at a peak, such as the day before the dot-com crash orthe
Wall Street meltdown that started the Great Recession in 2008.
The biggest advantage to buying mutual fund shares directly from the mutual fund
company itself is that we often won't get charged a commission, meaning more money
goes into our investments and is working for you.
For example: The ticker symbol is a short code assigned by the stock exchange to represent an
investment. If you were buying shares of Coca-Cola, for example, the ticker symbol is KO. If you
were buying shares of the Tweedy Browne Global Value Fund, a mutual fund, tend the basics of
using mutual funds in your portfolio
5 Ways to Place Your Stock Order
There are five different types of stock orders that your broker will likely let you use. They
are:
1. Market Order
2. Limit Order
3. Stop Order
4. Stop-Limit Order
5. Trailing Stop Order
Market Order:
A market order is a request to purchase or sell a stock at the current market price. Market
orders are pretty much the standard stock purchase order. One thing to keep in mind with a
market order is the fact that you don't control how much you pay for your stock purchase or
sale; the market does. This shortcoming can be met with a limit order.
Limit Order:
This is an order that executes at a specific price that you set (or better) and can be open for a
specific time period. While a limit order will prevent you from buying or selling your stock at
a price that you don't want, if the price is way off base, the order will never execute. It's
important to note that some brokers charge more for limit orders. Why? No execution means
no commission.

14. 14
Stop Order:
This is a market order that is triggered once your stock reaches a specific target price, the
stop price. Stop orders may also be called stop-loss orders, because they help investors put
constraints on their losses.
Stop-Limit Order:
This is identical to the stop order, except for the fact that a limit order is triggered once your
stock reaches a specific target price.
Trailing Stop:
Basically, this is a stop order based on a percentage change in the market price.
When you put an order in to your broker, you can choose how long the order stays open. By
default, orders are day orders, meaning that they are valid until the end of the trading day.
Good-'til-canceled orders remain open until you actually go in and cancel them.
