An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance for the first time. An IPO allows a company to raise equity capital from public investors. The transition from a private to a public company can be an important time for private investors to fully realize gains from their investment as it typically includes a share premium for current private investors. Meanwhile, it also allows public investors to participate in the offering.

Equity trading enables investors to become partial owners of the organization. When a company issues shares to the investors in return for money, these shares are called equities. The equity meaning in share market is nothing but these shares which investors can buy or sell. The equity market is also called a stock market where traders buy or sell shares. The companies listed on exchanges offer a fraction of their equity to public investors.

Investors can use equity derivatives to hedge the risk associated with taking long or short positions in stocks, or they can use them to speculate on the price movements of the underlying asset.
